TEMPE, Ariz. — It’s a given that Brooklyn’s LaMarcus Aldridge is going to miss Tuesday night’s game against the NBA-leading Suns. But the Nets are waiting to see just how long they’re going to be without their veteran center.. He was on crutches afterward, and left Chase Center in a walking boot. While the rest of his teammates were practicing Monday, Aldridge was busy seeing a specialist in Arizona and undergoing an MRI exam.
But in keeping with their injury-riddled season, the Nets are going to have to make do without Aldridge. With Blake Griffin seemingly relegated to fourth in a four-man race lately, Claxton could be in line to get the start against the Suns.“Yeah, I’m really used to it. Missing guys, having guys [only] on the road, you’ve just got to be able to adapt,” Claxton said. “That’s just the league.”
Now the Nets have had a page ripped out of that book. Claxton has been in the midst of a strong run over his last 13 games, averaging 11.8 points on 66.7 percent shooting with 6.3 boards and 1.2 blocks. He’s braced to see his playing time go up until Aldridge returns.
