"Ahead of Wednesday's season opener against the Charlotte Hornets, the Nets announced they have exercised Noah Clowney's team option for the 2026-27 season. The 6-10 forward, selected 21st overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, has averaged 8.0 points and 3.8 rebounds over his first two seasons in Brooklyn, shooting 39.4% from the field and 33.7% from 3-point range. Last season, the 21-year-old posted 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game but was limited to 46 appearances due to multiple ankle sprains."
"From the culture perspective, he had an amazing summer. He's developed not just his body, but also his personality, his growth as a person. He looks like a grown man... What I've seen, the games he's played, you know, he's going to keep getting better and better, and he has the shooting, the size, the toughness, the leadership that we want."
Noah Clowney's team option for 2026-27 has been exercised by the Brooklyn Nets, guaranteeing a $5.4 million salary. Clowney, a 6-10 forward taken 21st overall in 2023, has averaged 8.0 points and 3.8 rebounds through his first two seasons, and 9.1 points last season while missing time because of multiple ankle sprains. He will earn about $3.4 million this season. Clowney added significant muscle in the offseason, increasing to 234 pounds, and shot efficiently in preseason, including 43.7% from three. Coaching staff praised his shooting, size, toughness and leadership as he continues to develop.
