Noah Clowney ‘just stopped caring’ before finally breaking out for Nets
NY Post
Despite several ankle sprains that put a limit on his sophomore season, there was no concern over Noah Clowney’s development for Jordi Fernández.
“We saw him as a part of our future,” the coach said after practice on Tuesday.
At the beginning of this season, the third-year forward got off to a rocky start due to what Clowney believed was being “ too conservative” on the floor.
However, following the Nets’ 0-7 start, the 21-year-old has found his footing and the team’s belief in him is paying off.
In the last 16 games, Clowney has averaged 16.6 points on 45 percent shooting from the field and nearly 40 percent from beyond the arc.
In the first seven games of the season, he was only shooting 27 percent and averaging just 5.5 points.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
