Nets' Nic Claxton: Officially out

Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Coach Jordi Fernandez had previously said he'd like Claxton to play in at least one preseason game, and the big man's final chance will come Friday versus Toronto. Claxton's hamstring has been reported as minor, but it'd still be encouraging to see him get at least some work in before Brooklyn opens the regular season against the Hawks on Oct. 23.
