Nets' Noah Clowney (right wrist sprain) probable Friday at Lakers

The Brooklyn Nets have one game left on their west coast road trip before they can head home for a six-game homestand, but this could be the toughest matchup of their road trip. Brooklyn is dealing with some critical injuries to their normal rotation at this point of the season, but the good news is that the Nets should be getting one of its starters back in the lineup.

The Nets announced on Thursday that forward Noah Clowney is probable for Friday's game at the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right wrist sprain. While Clowney isn't listed as available for Friday's matchup against the Lakers, him being listed as probable is a significant upgrade for his condition considering that he has been ruled out for the past four games.

Clowney, 21, is in the midst of the best season of his career as he's averaging 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 39.6% from the field and 33.3% from three-point land. Clowney suffered his right wrist sprain in a 121-92 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Mar. 18 after playing just under eight minutes in the contest, totaling three points and two rebounds.

Moving on in the injury report, rookie forward Danny Wolf remains out of the lineup for Friday's game at Los Angeles as he continues to recover from his left ankle sprain. Wolf, 21, has missed the past two games with his injury, but he has been having a solid rookie season in his own right. Wolf is averaging 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 40.5% from the floor and 32.2% from behind the three-point line.

The Lakers have the third-best record in the Western Conference, showing that they are a formidable opponent as they are led by Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves. While Los Angeles will have James and Reaves in the rotation, Doncic is listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to left hamstring soreness so if he were to miss the matchup, Brooklyn will have a better chance of pulling off the upset.

For tomorrow's game at the Lakers, the Nets say Noah Clowney (right wrist sprain) is PROBABLE.
