The franchise finally gets positive news surrounding its two big men.
Interior defensive issues have bugged the Brooklyn Nets since the start of the 2024-25 campaign, but those struggles may soon evaporate.

Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images / Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Through 15 games, the Nets have far surpassed preseason expectations despite a hobbled Claxton and Sharpe's complete absence.
