The Brooklyn Nets big man woes may be improving.
According to word from the Nets PR staff, Nic Claxton, out for the last three games, is very near a return and there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel for Day’Ron Sharpe who has yet to play this season. Without the two bigs, Jordi Fernandez has been into some odd rotations in which Dorian Finney-Smith has taken on guarding opponent centers, not an ideal situation.
Claxton, who has had lower back issues and even had an epidural administered this past weekend, “returned to team practice” Thursday and is listed as “questionable” against the Philadelphia 76ers — and Joel Embiid — on Friday.
