Clowney totaled 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.
Clowney's versatility was on display across Brooklyn's last six contests, posting at least four blocks on two occasions, as well as grabbing 10 rebounds on two occasions, while Sunday marked his third game with 15-plus points and multiple made threes. The 6-foot-10 rookie lacks a defensive niche, but if his shot continues developing and he proves to be able to defend in space, Clowney has the makings of a future rotation player.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Hosts block party
Rotowire
Clowney ended with 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 win over the Raptors.
Clowney recorded a season-high seven blocks during Wednesday's win over the Raptors. After registering just four swats over his first 18 appearances in 2023-24, the rookie forward has now tallied 11 over his last three outings. If Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) continues to miss time, Clowney could remain in the starting lineup for Brooklyn's final two games.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Efficient off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Clowney chipped in 17 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and four blocks in 24 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 victory over Detroit.
Clowney played a prominent role off the bench for the Nets on Saturday, missing just one shot from the field and rounding a solid stat line due to his defensive contributions, particularly his four blocks. Clowney has been limited to garbage-time minutes most of the season, but his last two performances might be enough to earn more playing time ahead of the final week of the regular season.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Huge numbers in light minutes
Rotowire
Clowney finished with 22 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 victory over Indiana.
The 22 points and 10 rebounds were both career highs for Clowney, who became just the sixth player in NBA history to reach those statistical benchmarks in 17 minutes or fewer. The rookie first-round pick supplanted Day'Ron Sharpe as Nic Claxton's top backup Wednesday, and based on how he performed, Clowney should be a regular in the Brooklyn rotation for what's left of the season.

Rotowire
The Nets recalled Clowney from the G League's Long Island Nets, but he won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Magic due to a coach's decision.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Gets four minutes Tuesday
Rotowire
Clowney recorded two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound across four minutes in Tuesday's 119-107 loss to thee Mavericks.
After a stint in the G League, Clowney rejoined the Nets ahead of Tuesday's contest while Brooklyn was in need of extra depth at forward with both Cameron Johnson (adductor) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) sitting out. Clowney held only a limited role off the bench, so he looks as though he may need the Nets to be without at least one more key frontcourt player before he captures more meaningful minutes.

Brooklyn recalled Clowney from the G League's Long Island Nets on Tuesday.
With the Nets losing Cam Johnson (adductor) and Lonnie Walker (hamstring) to injuries in Monday's loss to the Warriors and with Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) already ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Clowney could be needed in Brooklyn's frontcourt rotation. Even if he claims a role on the second unit Tuesday, Clowney likely wouldn't be in store for extended minutes.

Clowney is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, NBA freelance journalist Billy Reinhardt reports.
The Nets are resting Nic Claxton (ankle), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Spencer Dinwiddie (not injury related) on Wednesday, while Lonnie Walker (hamstring) and Ben Simmons (back) remain out, so Clowney, Dariq Whitehead, Keon Johnson and Armoni Brooks will all be available versus Milwaukee and could crack the rotation. Clowney has made just one appearance this season, recording one rebound in three minutes during a blowout win over Miami on Nov. 25.
Clowney (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Clowney is slated to miss a third straight game due to right shoulder soreness. It's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again, but his next chance will come Wednesday in Atlanta.
