Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton, sidelined with a lower back strain, is expected to return as early as November 24 against the Philadelphia 76ers, depending on his recovery during the reevaluation period. Claxton, averaging 8.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, has shown steady performance after overcoming a preseason hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, backup center Day’Ron Sharpe, out due to a hamstring injury since preseason, is expected back around the end of November. His return will provide much-needed depth to the Nets’ frontcourt rotation
