Clowney’s absence on Thursday will mark his third straight, as the Nets’ 2025-26 season nears its conclusion. The third-year forward is having a career-best season in terms of scoring, rebounding, and passing, while serving as mostly a full-time starter. While sidelined, E.J. Liddell could continue to log heavy minutes.

Clowney will remain out for a second straight game with this ankle injury. E.J. Liddell should get another start after he scored 15 points in 30 minutes against the Wizards on Sunday.

Initially questionable, Clowney is out for the Nets’ final game of Week 23. With Nic Claxton also out, Chaney Johnson, Josh Minott and E.J. Liddell should play plenty due to the Nets’ lack of healthy options in the frontcourt.

Clowney has been dealing with a sore left ankle for a little while now, but his Friday night was cut short due to a third-quarter ejection. With Nic Claxton (hand) already out, Clowney would figure prominently in the starting lineup, even if his minutes are limited.

Clowney got into it with Atlanta’s Mouhamed Gueye just over halfway through the third quarter. And the Nets forward kept going after officials separated the players, resulting in a second technical foul. Clowney finished with 12 points (4-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and one steal. Josh Minott should play more minutes for the remainder of Friday’s game.

Lines like the one Clowney recorded on Sunday will satisfy most fantasy managers, outside of the free-throw percentage. However, while the third-year forward/center finished with a complete stat line, he only played 20 minutes. That workload limits Clowney’s upside and may cause some concern among fantasy managers despite the Nets playing three games in Week 23.

Clowney has officially been cleared after initially being listed as probable for this game. He’ll return from a four-game absence, which will likely push Ziaire Williams back to the bench after he averaged 17.5 points and 2.8 steals during four game as a starter.

Clowney has missed Brooklyn’s last four games, with Ziaire Williams replacing him in the starting lineup. If Clowney plays against the Lakers, Williams is the player most likely headed to the bench, which would limit his fantasy value.

Clowney will miss a fourth straight game, which mean Ziaire Williams should be in line for another start. Williams has been solid as a starter recently, averaging 17.0 points and 1.7 steals during the last three games with Clowney out.

Clowney sprained his right wrist during Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, and Sunday’s game will be the second that he’s missed. Ziaire Williams performed well in a spot start on Friday against the Knicks, and he should retain that role in the first game of the Nets’ road trip.

Clowney, who sprained his right wrist during the first quarter of Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, was already ruled out for Friday’s game against the Knicks. He’s also on track to miss the first game of Brooklyn’s road trip, Sunday in Sacramento, before being re-evaluated. Chaney Johnson has seen his playing time increase recently, while Josh Minott’s presence in the rotation has been inconsistent.

Clowney sprained his right wrist early in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, resulting in more minutes for Chaney Johnson and Josh Minott. While Minott has delivered higher fantasy upside, Johnson’s playing time has been more consistent recently. Fantasy managers would be better off leaving both alone.

Clowney suffered a sprained right wrist during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game and will not return. He played eight minutes, finishing with three points (1-of-5 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) and two rebounds. Danny Wolf and Chaney Johnson are two players whose minutes may increase with Clowney done for the night, with the former already in the starting lineup.

Clowney is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, and he’s in the starting lineup. Ziaire Williams heads to the bench, where he offers even less fantasy value than he does as a spot starter.

Clowney got the night off on Monday after Nic Claxton got one on Saturday, which has resulted in Ziaire Williams starting two straight games. However, with both Clowney and Claxton available, Williams will return to playing a large role off the bench, which will limit his streaming upside.

Clowney started Saturday’s loss to the 76ers with Nic Claxton getting the night off for rest, but had just five points and four rebounds in 19 minutes. Now Clowney will get the night off with Claxton off the injury report ahead of Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Clowney didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but he brought more to the table offensively than fellow starter Nic Claxton. Shooting 1-of-5 from the field, Clax finished with two points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and three blocks. Brooklyn’s four-game Week 20 begins with a back-to-back, which could be an issue for Clowney and Claxton.

This was the second straight game that Clowney scored 17 points in a loss in Miami, but he did more work from beyond the three-point line in this one. His production has been inconsistent, and he had some rough performances in February, but he is more than capable of making a big impact. He is one of the safest fantasy options in Brooklyn at the moment.

On a night when the Nets shot 38 percent from the field, Clowney made half of his shots from the field. The foul line was where the forward/center boosted his point total, but more notable was the rebound total. Clowney’s seven rebounds were the most in a game for him since January 23, when he grabbed nine in an overtime loss to the Celtics. While he can provide three-point value, Clowney doing more on the glass over the final month of the regular season would be a good thing to see happen heading into the offseason.

After totaling 28 points on 9-of-25 shooting in Brooklyn’s first three games out of the All-Star break, Clowney snapped out of his mini-slump on Tuesday. He shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc while also recording a stat line that only lacked an assist. With the Nets focused on strengthening their draft lottery odds, Clowney’s playing time should not be a concern the rest of the season.

Clowney, who scored 22 points in Monday’s win over the Bulls, is dealing with a sprained left ankle. The good news is that he’s listed as probable, so availability may not be an issue for the Nets forward. If Clowney can’t play on Wednesday, that could be a spot where Josh Minott gets to make his Nets’ debut as a reserve. Ziaire Williams, who has started games in the past, would figure more prominently in the rotation.

After scoring 18 points in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, Clowney recorded his first 20-point game since a January 16 win over the Bulls. The Nets’ forward/center has also made four three-pointers in consecutive games, the first time he’s done that this season. Brooklyn is clearly focused on ending the season with the best draft lottery odds possible, but fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Clowney’s minutes down the line.

Porter and Clowney are back after multi-game absences, with the former missing the last two games and the latter the previous five. Their returns push Terance Mann and Danny Wolf to the bench, with Traoré starting alongside Dëmin in the backcourt.

Both players received probable tags on Monday, so their availability isn’t surprising. Clowney will return from a five-game absence, and Williams from a three-gamer. Clowney and Williams are expected to handle their normal workloads.

Clowney has missed the last five games for Brooklyn, but he’s expected to return against Los Angeles. Nolan Traore and Danny Wolf have been starting recently with Clowney and Michael Porter Jr. (personal) out, but MPJ is not on the injury report, so Traore and Wolf should return to reserve role.

Due to a sprained lower back, Clowney will miss a fifth consecutive game on Sunday. Terance Mann has been the replacement, and that’s unlikely to change on Sunday. There’s no need to consider streaming Mann; there should be better options on the waiver wire on a 10-game day.

Friday’s game will be the fourth that Clowney has missed, with the Nets citing back injury management as the reason. Terance Mann has moved into the starting lineup, but the production has not been good enough to merit being streamed in most leagues.

Thursday’s game will be the third that Clowney has missed due to back injury management. Terance Mann has moved into the starting lineup, but he’s offered limited fantasy value in that role. Even with the Nets missing multiple rotation players, there should be better streaming options on the waiver wire.

Clowney did not play in Sunday’s blowout loss to the Clippers, with Terance Mann moving into the starting lineup. Mann should retain that role in Phoenix, but fantasy managers should not consider him a must-stream player.

Clowney was initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, so his absence is unsurprising. Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson should see their playing time increase. While Wolf has more starts under his belt this season, he’s yet to start alongside Michael Porter Jr., so he may be consigned to a bench role on Sunday.
