Nets' Noah Clowney: Likely to play Saturday

Clowney (back) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Clowney is dealing with back soreness but is likely to suit up Saturday. The 21-year-old forward has been a mainstay in the starting lineup since early November. He has averaged 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 30.8 minutes per game in his last five outings.
