Ruled out for Sunday
Claxton (hand) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Wizards.
Analysis
Claxton's absence will open up minutes for Josh Minott and E.J. Liddell. Claxton should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Available to play
Claxton (hand) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
Claxton was previously carrying a probable tag for the Nets, but he will power through issues with his wrist on top of an illness. Based on previous outings, the Nets will likely be cautious with his workload.

Probable for Friday
Claxton (hand/illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
Claxton is dealing with an illness and right hand soreness, though he's still likely to suit up Friday. The big man has averaged 9.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 22.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances. He's been seeing limited playing time of late and hasn't logged more than 23 minutes since March 7.

Non-factor in loss Tuesday
Claxton had four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
Claxton's turned in another underwhelming performance. Despite being a regular fixture in the starting lineup, he has been outside the top 250 in 14 games over the past month. During that time, he has averaged just 8.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. At this point, he is nowhere near being a must-roster player.
