The Nets will be without Nic Claxton for their game against the Cavaliers on Thursday after he sprained his right ankle during practice, marking only the fourth game he has missed this season. Averaging 12.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game, Claxton’s absence will likely see Day’Ron Sharpe start again, as he did before the All-Star break. Rookie Ben Saraf and Josh Minott have been sent to the G-League, with Saraf struggling this season. The rookie backcourt of Egor Dëmin and Nolan Traore faces a significant challenge against the Cavaliers’ star players.
