Nets' Noah Clowney: Not playing Sunday

Clowney (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Clowney's absence will extend to five games while he's dealing with a lower-back injury, and his next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Pistons. Danny Wolf has started each of the Nets' last two games and could remain in the starting lineup for as long as Clowney is sidelined.
