Nic Claxton of the Brooklyn Nets was suspended for one game without pay after accruing his sixth Flagrant Foul point during the 2024-25 season. The suspension arises from a recent incident during a loss to the Washington Wizards where he received a Flagrant Foul for pushing an opponent. This marks Claxton's third ejection of the season, alongside multiple technical fouls, highlighting his ongoing struggles with discipline. Coach Jordi Fernández emphasized the need for focus and composure to avoid such penalties in the future as they affect team performance.
I just had a mental lapse, and I just launched the ball in the crowd. And I can't let my emotions get to that point. I got to be there for my team.
We lost our composure, and we were not good with whatever happened with a flagrant and a technical and all that stuff and a foul before the ball gets inbounded. All those things are a lack of focus, and that's not the team we want to be.
