Brooklyn's big man will make his 2024-25 debut this Wednesday.
of the New York Daily News, Nic Claxton is expected to debut under new head coach Jordi Fernandez in Brooklyn's season-opener against Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks.
Standing as the Nets' longest-tenured player following the departure of Mikal Bridges, Claxton has been thrust into a new leadership role after signing a four-year $97 million extension this past summer.
