NOAH Clowney

Clowney's 2025-26 season line was 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks a game across 66 appearances, with 1.5 turnovers. He shot 39.6 percent from the field, 32.9 percent from three and 80.4 percent from the foul line, good for a 55.4 true shooting mark. His usage rate sat at 20.2 percent, showing he was a real part of Brooklyn's offense last season, not a bit player. The plus-minus told a tougher story: he finished at minus-5.0 for the season, last season's numbers, reflecting a Nets team that had rough nights even when he was productive individually.

Clowney has played in all four Nets games so far this season. He opened with 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in 18.9 minutes in a win over Charlotte on October 6, then 11 points, 1 rebound and 0 assists in 19.8 minutes in a win over Philadelphia on October 8. Against Washington on October 12 he had his best scoring night of the stretch, 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in 21.6 minutes in a win. Most recently, on October 14 against Miami, he managed just 6 points but grabbed 7 rebounds and added 2 assists in 22.1 minutes in a loss. The Nets are 3-1 across those four games.

Clowney is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history on file for him, which means he has avoided the kind of recurring issue that limits playing time or availability. That clean status lines up with him appearing in every one of Brooklyn's first four games this season. For a frontcourt piece the Nets are counting on for minutes at both forward and center, staying off the injury list is the first box to check, and so far this season he has checked it.

Looking back at last season, Clowney's results down the stretch were uneven. In a late-March loss to Oklahoma City he played only 8.0 minutes and scored 3 points. Three days later against Charlotte he had 4 points in 19.9 minutes in a loss, and in early April against Atlanta he scored 12 points in 20.7 minutes in another loss. There were better nights mixed in, too, like a 15-point, 7-rebound outing in a win over Sacramento on March 29. That kind of swing, from an 8-minute night to a 15-point double-digit rebounding game, was last season, and it shows the night-to-night variance Brooklyn dealt with from him before this year.
