The Brooklyn Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn has talked about needing to ease the burden on big man Nic Claxton, who averaged a more modest 25.7 minutes over his last three appearances after logging 32.4 in the 21 games before that.
“Yeah, the numbers speak for itself. I played more minutes than I played in my career just this season,” Claxton said. “I haven’t really talked to a JV about my minutes going forward, but I’ll just be ready for whatever. The break definitely got me right, though. I feel much better, and I’m excited to just have some fresh legs and see everybody as a group and go out there and see what we can do.”
