Rotowire
Clowney notched 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes in Thursday's 105-99 overtime loss to Indiana.
Clowney struggled shooting from deep in Thursday's contest but still reached double figures in scoring and finished as one of four Nets with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Clowney has reached double figures in scoring in 20 contests this season, doing so in three of his last four outings.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Poor production in return
Rotowire
Clowney (ankle) tallied one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 104-96 loss to the Celtics.
Making his return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Clowney struggled to get much going offensively and came up empty in the two defensive categories. Head coach Jordi Fernandez ran a bloated 11-man rotation Tuesday that featured 10 players logging between 17 and 29 minutes, and if that trend continues, Clowney likely won't have the opportunity to see his playing time dramatically increase as he becomes further removed from the ankle injury.

Clowney has provided a nice lift from the second unit as of late, connecting on three threes in two straight outings while recording a double-digit point total in each contest.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Held scoreless in return
Rotowire
Clowney (ankle) tallied zero points (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 105-102 loss to the Hornets.
Back in action for the first time since Jan. 27 after missing the last 15 games due to a sprained left ankle, Clowney couldn't find an offensive rhythm and offered few other contributions in the box score. Despite the poor showing, Clowney's spot in the Brooklyn rotation should be stable moving forward, though he may not necessarily be in store for a big uptick in playing time. He was limited to under 20 minutes Saturday, despite the Nets not having Cameron Johnson (knee) available for the contest.

Rotowire

Cameron Johnson appeared to pick up an injury during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Knicks, so the Nets could be shorthanded once again versus the Suns on Wednesday. Tuesday's game was a step in the right direction for Clowney in what has been a tough month for the forward.

Rotowire
Clowney racked up 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 victory over Portland.
Clowney went scoreless in his previous game, going 0-for-9 from the field in a loss to the Jazz on Sunday. However, he responded admirably here and reached the 20-point mark for the second time across his last five outings. Even though his role has been inconsistent, it's worth noting Clowney has started in 10 of the Nets' previous 13 games. He's averaging 12.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in that span.

Through his last six games, he's averaging 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 29.2 minutes. With the Nets expected to continue selling ahead of the deadline, Clowney could see more usage and minutes going forward.
