Claxton and Finney-Smith to Play in Season Opener

News summary

Dorian Finney-Smith is set to play in the Brooklyn Nets' season opener against the Atlanta Hawks after recovering from an undisclosed injury, with no restrictions anticipated. Meanwhile, Nic Claxton, who missed the preseason due to a hamstring issue, is also expected to return for the opener. Claxton, now the Nets' longest-tenured player, has assumed a leadership role following his four-year, $97-100 million contract extension. Coach Jordi Fernandez has expressed confidence in Claxton's physical readiness, although he did not specify whether there will be a minutes restriction. Claxton's return is expected to bolster the team's rebounding and defensive capabilities, which were challenged during his absence. The Nets are optimistic about their season under Fernandez's new system and Claxton's expanded role.
