What happened
Brooklyn declined to give Noah Clowney a rookie extension on Monday, leaving the 22-year-old forward on a prove-it contract worth $5.4 million before restricted free agency next June.
Clowney said he expects fewer minutes and fewer touches in a new role, while coach Jordi Fernandez said he has seen consistency from him and expects him to be a big part of the season.
The extension decision keeps Clowney’s role and future contract value tied to this season’s production. Fantasy and rotation outlook still depend on how much playing time he earns behind the Nets’ established frontcourt pieces.
