Brooklyn center Nic Claxton is slated to take on an expanded role with the Nets as the 2025-26 NBA season approaches, according to a report published on September 24, 2025. The story notes that Claxton, described as “rejuvenated,” heads into training camp determined to move past the disappointment that marked his previous campaign.
The report states that Brooklyn plans to rely more heavily on the athletic 6-foot-11 big man at both ends of the floor after a year in which injuries and inconsistency limited his impact. Claxton spent the offseason working to improve his conditioning and refine his skills, positioning himself for the larger assignment.
With preseason workouts underway, the Nets are counting on Claxton’s versatility in switching defenses and finishing at the rim to bolster a roster aiming for a stronger showing in the Eastern Conference.
