Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash confirmed they expect Nicolas Claxton to miss the next 7 to 10 days with a non-COVID-related illness. Claxton missed the Nets Friday night game against the Indiana Pacers for the same reason.

Claxton has appeared in four games for the Nets this season, starting three of them. The 22-year-old averages 6.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 19 minutes per game.
Blake Griffin has started five games for the Nets this season, replacing Claxton at center over the past couple of outings. Griffin will continue with that role while Claxton recovers from the illness, with Bruce Brown filling in at power forward.
