""Day'Ron is special," Dëmin said. "His superpower is rebounding. A lot of his points are putbacks and those aren't easy. I joke with him that the last couple of weeks he's been looking for me a lot coming off handoffs and ball screens, and I tell him when he sets screens, I'm going to find him. The more you play together, the more confidence you build, and he makes the game easier for everybody.""
"Claxton has been one of the Nets' most reliable presences this season. He's appeared in 50 of the Nets' 53 games, averaging 12.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 59% from the field. His ability to anchor the paint, facilitate from the elbows and switch defensively has made him a central figure in Brooklyn's nightly rotation."
Nic Claxton is ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers with a right ankle sprain sustained during Wednesday's practice, and no return timetable or severity has been provided. Claxton has appeared in 50 of 53 games, averaging 12.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 59%, and he anchors Brooklyn's interior, facilitates from the elbows and switches defensively. Claxton had already missed the game before the break with right hip soreness, creating an opportunity for Day'Ron Sharpe. Sharpe started and posted 19 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 31 minutes, and his increased minutes have fostered growing chemistry with rookie guard Egor Dëmin, particularly on handoffs and pick-and-roll actions.
