Claxton (illness) was assigned to the Long Island Nets for Tuesday's practice, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
The third-year big man has been battling an unspecified illness that isn't related to COVID-19 and hasn't played since Oct. 25. Despite multiple workouts with Brooklyn, he has had trouble getting back into playing shape, so Claxton will be sent down to the G League to try and get his conditioning back. There isn't a clear timetable for his return to NBA action.
