After practice on Tuesday, Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said most of the team, including center Nic Claxton, is available at the Hawks.

Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton returned to practice on Monday after missing all of the preseason with a hamstring injury. He spoke on his return.

Nic Claxton finds himself suddenly as the longest-tenured player on the Nets, noting that such an ascension in seniority “happens fast” in the NBA. The 25-year-old center expects to play in Wednesday’s season opener in Atlanta after missing the team’s four preseason games due to a hamstring issue — declaring himself “ready to go” to open his sixth NBA campaign.
