Clowney was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Clippers after receiving his second technical foul, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Clowney was assessed back-to-back technical fouls late in the third quarter and was ejected from the contest. He finished the game with four points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 20 minutes. He should be back in action Friday against the Lakers.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Bounces back Tuesday
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.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Held scoreless as starter
Rotowire
Clowney closed Sunday's 112-111 overtime loss to the Jazz with zero points (0-9 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes.
This was a nightmare showing for Clowney in what's been a volatile start to the month of January. 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.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Logs 14 points in starting role
Rotowire
Clowney amassed 14 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 124-105 loss to the Nuggets.
The combination of Clowney and Nic Claxton will continue to lead the frontcourt while Cameron Johnson (ankle) recovers, and the scenario is giving Brooklyn's 2023 first-round pick an opportunity to show his stuff. The youngster provides depth upfront, which could persuade the Nets to move Claxton in hope of acquiring draft capital for next season. Clowney is worth stashing for a few weeks in deep formats, as his role will expand if Claxton is dealt.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Erupts for career-high 29
Rotowire
Clowney closed with 29 points (9-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-98 loss to Detroit.
It was the best scoring performance of the second-year forward's career. Injuries, plus the Dorian Finney-Smith trade, have pushed Clowney into the starting lineup, but as of yet he hasn't seized the opportunity on a consistent basis. Clowney has started in seven of his last nine appearances, but he hasn't pulled down more than six boards in any of those contests while scoring in double digits only six times. Over that stretch, he's averaging 13.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 threes and 1.2 assists while shooting 41.9 percent (26-for-62) from beyond the arc.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Poor shooting display
Rotowire
Clowney chipped in 14 points (4-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Monday's 113-99 loss to the Pacers.
Clowney returned to the starting lineup Monday for a depleted Nets roster, marking the sixth time he played with the first unit across his last eight appearances. He's averaging 13.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game in those six starts, and he's been a relatively bright spot amid a rough stretch for Brooklyn. He's a solid streaming option in most formats when in the starting lineup.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Clowney will start in Monday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Clowney came off the bench in Saturday's loss to Philadelphia after being held out of Thursday's win over Milwaukee due to a left hip contusion. The 20-year-old forward has been a regular in the starting lineup of late, and over his last five outings (three starts), he has averaged 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds across 26.0 minutes per contest.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Clowney (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
After taking a hard fall in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors, Clowney is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a hip contusion Saturday. If the former first-rounder sits out, Nic Claxton should handle more playing time in the first unit while Day'Ron Sharpe sees more minutes off the bench.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Won't return Wednesday
Rotowire
Clowney has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a lower back injury, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Clowney fell on his back and checked out of the game with 26 seconds left in the third quarter before Brooklyn ruled him out for the rest of the contest. The second-year forward started and played 28 minutes prior to departing, finishing with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal. The Nets will return to action Thursday in Milwaukee for the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the quick turnaround could make it difficult for Clowney to show enough improvement to play in that game.

Clowney exited Wednesday's game against the Raptors after suffering an apparent back injury, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Tallies double figures in start
Rotowire
Clowney contributed 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 28 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 loss to Orlando.
Clowney returned to the Nets' starting lineup following the trade of Dorian Finney-Smith, connecting on a trio of threes while finishing as one of four Brooklyn players in double figures in scoring Sunday.

With Dorian Finney-Smith having been traded to the Lakers on Sunday, Clowney will reprise his role in the starting five. The 20-year-old has averaged 13.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 30.0 minutes per contest in his last five outings (three starts).

Nets' Noah Clowney: Ejected Friday
Rotowire
Clowney was ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Spurs after being assessed two technical fouls, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. He finished the game with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes off the bench.
Clowney got called for a tech after disagreeing with the call and pushing Jeremy Sochan, and he was tossed after going right after the official. He returned to the bench in this game after three straight starts, and he's likely to remain as a depth option in the frontcourt if both Dorian Finney-Smith and Nic Claxton remain healthy.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Scores season-high 20 points
Rotowire
Clowney produced 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 victory over Milwaukee.
Clowney was making only his fourth start of the season Thursday, but he took advantage of the opportunity and finished with his best scoring output of the campaign. His fantasy upside will be tied to the availability of Dorian Finney-Smith (calf), but Clowney is nonetheless going through a productive stretch. He's scored in double digits in four games in a row and five of his last six, averaging 12.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per contest in that stretch.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Plays well in start
Rotowire
Clowney provided 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Monday's 110-95 loss to the Heat.
Dorian Finney-Smith (calf) missed his second game in a row, allowing Clowney to make another start. Clowney responded with a season-high 19 points, perhaps giving a glimpse of the upside he could offer if he steps into a larger role -- the Nets are rumored to be shopping both Finney-Smith and Cameron Johnson.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Serviceable in spot start
Rotowire
Clowney provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Saturday's 105-94 loss to Utah.
Clowney received just his second start of the season, filling in for Dorian Finney-Smith who was a late scratch due to a calf injury. Seen as a potential breakout coming into the season, Clowney's role has been inconsistent, to say the least. He has played at least 29 minutes in two straight games, although could very well see a reduction should the team start to get healthy bodies back on the floor. With that said, the Nets are going nowhere fast and it makes sense for them to try and get Clowney on the floor as much as possible, albeit later in the season.
