Noah Clowney has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to a right ankle sprain, marking yet another setback in his career. Clowney had recently returned from a 15-game absence due to a prior ankle injury. In his comeback games, he had shown improvement, notably scoring 19 points against the Lakers. Despite his optimism about his injury's minor nature, the Nets will feel his absence, while the Bulls also miss key player Josh Giddey. Clowney continues to emphasize the value of making every minute on the court count.
I think tonight was a big step in the right direction for me getting back into the rhythm I'd been playing with. I think I was playing pretty well before I went down.
It wasn't like my ankle injury before where I was up in the air and landed on somebody...minor little tweak and I had tape on, so I think I should be fine.
I've come to learn every minute you play out there should matter. So, trying to make the most of every possession. That's really all there is to it.
Clowney is averaging 9.5 points and 3.9 rebounds across 40 appearances this season while shooting 37.6% from the field and 35.1% from deep.
