After missing 32 games with knee tendinopathy, former Georgia basketball center Nicolas Claxton made his season debut with the Brooklyn Nets in Tuesday’s 128-117 win over the Sacramento Kings.
In his first game appearance since Feb. 28 of last year, Claxton scored 5 points and added one rebound and one assist in 14 minutes.

Claxton was drafted with the No. 31 pick in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft, but didn’t get the start to his professional career the way he had hoped, battling knee and shoulder injuries for the last two seasons.
