With just three games remaining, Sharpe may join Cam Thomas, De'Anthony Melton, and Noah Clowney as players ruled out for the rest of the season due to injuries. This season, Sharpe has averaged 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.

Cameron Johnson Won't Play On Thursday Against Hawks

Brooklyn Nets small forward Cameron Johnson (back) will not suit up for Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Due to a nagging back injury, Johnson is not ready to return for Thursday night. This will be Johnson's fifth consecutive game that he's going to miss. His next chance to play will be against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, but the Nets have just three games left in their season, and Johnson just might get sidelined for the rest of the season due to his back injury. With Johnson out, Trendon Watford will remain in the starting lineup.

D'Angelo Russell Out Against Hawks

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not be in action on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks. Russell is set to miss the game due to right ankle soreness. Thursday will mark the third-straight game that Russell will miss. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reece Beekman will remain in the starting unit on Thursday due to Russell's absence. This season, Russell has played 28 games with the Nets, averaging 12.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.

Nicolas Claxton Back In Action Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The lanky big man looks set to return to action after missing Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors for rest purposes. Drew Timme replaced Claxton in the starting lineup on Sunday, notching 13 points with seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal. On Tuesday, Timme is expected to return to the bench, which will negatively impact his fantasy value. Claxton has averaged 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks for the season.

Day'Ron Sharpe To Remain Out On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) will be sidelined for a seventh straight game on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The big man has been unavailable for a couple of weeks due to a right knee sprain. Brooklyn has lost Noah Clowney (ankle) for the season, leaving Drew Timme and Trendon Watford as the only center options behind starter Nicolas Claxton. Both moved into the first unit on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors and played well, but Claxton was rested for the contest. It will be much more difficult for Timme and Watford to please fantasy managers on Tuesday, with Claxton back in the lineup.

Keon Johnson To Be Rested Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Keon Johnson (rest) will take the night off on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson has been ever-present for the Nets since Nov. 22, and the team has decided to give him some rest. D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has also been ruled out for Tuesday's contest, leading to many additional playing opportunities for the rest of the backcourt. Reece Beekman, Tyson Etienne, Dariq Whitehead, and Maxwell Lewis could all be involved more in the rotation than usual. The Nets already used Beekman as a starter on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors.

D'Angelo Russell Unavailable Against Pelicans

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Ever since he returned to Brooklyn, Russell has been in and out of the lineup due to various health issues, and he is currently nursing a right ankle sprain. Reece Beekman has just logged his first career start and may get another opportunity in Tuesday's game. He was impactful at both ends in Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors, posting 14 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals.

Cameron Johnson  • PF  •  Nets

Cameron Johnson Misses Fourth Consecutive Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (back) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. He is struggling to recover from a lower back injury, and with only a few games left in the regular season, it would not be surprising if the Nets go the rest of the way without Johnson. With Johnson sidelined, Trendon Watford is likely to receive a third consecutive start. Watford has averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists since moving to the starting unit.

D'Angelo Russell  • PG  •  Nets

D'Angelo Russell Sidelined On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Raptors. The Nets have five games left on the schedule. However, Brooklyn isn't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's possible Russell is done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. With Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Cameron Johnson (back) also ruled out, Keon Johnson, Ziaire Williams, and Trendon Watford may be the most reliable fantasy options, although Tyrese Martin and Drew Timme may also get more involved.

Nicolas Claxton Won't Play Versus Toronto

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Raptors. The Nets are limping to the finish line, so Claxton may only make a few more appearances the rest of the way. With Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) and Noah Clowney (ankle) also sidelined, Drew Timme, who has averaged 11.3 and 5.0 rebounds in four professional appearances, could find his way into the starting lineup or at least see enough minutes from off the bench to remain a practical streaming option.

Jalen Wilson  • SF  •  Nets

Jalen Wilson Sidelined On Thursday

C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets small forward Jalen Wilson (ankle) will be in action on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team downgraded Wilson from questionable to out due to right knee soreness. While the 24-year-old is on the shelf, the Nets will likely turn to Tyrese Martin and Trendon Watford to absorb some of the now-available minutes for tonight's contest. Watford will likely start with Wilson and Cameron Johnson (back), who are both sidelined. He's averaged 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 24.4 minutes per game in his last five outings.

D'Angelo Russell  • PG  •  Nets

D'Angelo Russell Good To Go On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will play on Thursday versus Minnesota. The veteran continues to appear on the injury report because of a sore ankle. Yet, he was able to suit up for Monday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with 18 points, 11 assists, two steals, and one block. With Cameron Johnson (back) ruled out, Russell should be one of the Nets' top producers on Thursday evening.

Noah Clowney  • PF  •  Nets

Noah Clowney Done For Rest Of The Season

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (ankle) will miss the remainder of the year. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds this season, an improvement from the 2023-24 campaign. Unfortunately, Clowney was limited to 46 games, mostly due to bilateral ankle issues. With the Nets looking to bolster the roster heading into next season, it's unknown how Clowney will fit into the rotation. However, outside of his injury woes, he appears to be trending in the right direction regarding his development. As a result, dynasty managers shouldn't accept any low-ball offers for the 20-year-old. In the meantime, Trendon Watford should see more minutes moving ahead.

Day'Ron Sharpe Still Out On Monday

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) will remain out for Monday's matchup against Dallas. He's already missed three games because of a sprained knee, so it's unknown if he'll be back on the floor before the end of the regular season. While Nicolas Claxton will remain in the middle to begin the game, Drew Timme, averaging 15.0 points and eight rebounds in two professional appearances, is worth considering for DFS lineups.

Noah Clowney Sidelined On Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (ankle) won't play on Monday against the Mavericks. He got the start in Saturday's win over the Wizards, finishing with 13 points and five rebounds. However, the 20-year-old sprained his right ankle late in the contest and didn't return. With Cameron Johnson (back) sidelined for this one, Clowney had a chance to remain with the first five. But now it appears Jalen Wilson, averaging 11.2 points in 18 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, could fill the spot in the rotation. Trendon Watford should also see additional minutes.

Cameron Johnson Ruled Out On Monday Night

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (back) won't play on Monday night against Dallas. He had an excellent game in the recent win over the Washington Wizards, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. Unfortunately, he took a hard fall late in the contest and was ruled out. With Brooklyn already eliminated from Play-In contention, it's anyone's guess if Johnson has a few more games in him before the end of the regular season. But with Noah Clowney (ankle) also ruled out, Jalen Wilson may slide into the starting lineup, with the 24-year-old averaging 11.2 points in 18 starts this season. Trendon Watford should also see extra work after amassing seven points and two blocks versus the Wizards.

Noah Clowney  • PF  •  Nets

Noah Clowney Available On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards. He had five points and shot a rough 1-for-9 from the field in the loss to the Raptors on Wednesday. However, the 20-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's matchup with the Clippers because of an illness. Clowney has averaged 9.0 points and 3.9 rebounds in his second year in the National Basketball Association. Yet, with D'Angelo Russell (ankle) and Nicolas Claxton (rest) ruled out, Clowney could be more productive.

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Versus Washington

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Washington. The veteran had only five points in 18 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers. With that in mind, the Nets can't earn a Play-In berth, so Russell along with Nicolas Claxton (rest), who also suit up, and Cameron Johnson could see less work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. As a result, Keon Johnson should handle things at the one, with Reece Beekman also in line for more work.

Nicolas Claxton  • C  •  Nets

Nicolas Claxton Resting On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play in Saturday's game against Washington. He logged only 19 minutes in Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with six points, five rebounds, and two blocks. But with the Nets unable to earn a Play-In berth, Claxton could see less work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) is also out, meaning Trendon Watford could find himself in the middle on Saturday night. Drew Timme, who had a double-double in the first appearance of his career on Friday night, should also see some action.

Noah Clowney  • PF  •  Nets

Noah Clowney Won't Play On Friday Night

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (illness) won't play on Friday against the Clippers. The 20-year-old has shown some growth in his second season in the National Basketball Association, averaging 9.0 points and 3.9 rebounds. Still, he hasn't been a consistent fantasy contributor, most recently amassing five points off 1-for-9 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. Without Clowney available, Trendon Watford (illness), who is cleared to suit up, will likely see a few extra minutes.
