Nets coach Jordi Fernandez said Wednesday that Clowney (ankle) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 regular season, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Clowney is in a boot due to a right ankle sprain, and it's not a big surprise to hear that he's unavailable for the last two weeks of the season. Clowney made 46 total appearances for Brooklyn, posting averages of 9.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers on 35.8 percent shooting from the field.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Will be evaluated soon
Rotowire
Clowney (ankle), who has already been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas, is in a walking boot and will be evaluated when the club returns to Brooklyn, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Clowney sustained a right ankle sprain during Saturday's win over the Wizards, and while he is set to be assessed before Thursday's game in Brooklyn against Minnesota, it wouldn't be a surprise if he remains sidelined. The Nets will likely provide further details on the 20-year-old's timetable by Wednesday. In the meantime, Trendon Watford and Jalen Wilson will likely receive a bump in minutes.

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.

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.
