Claxton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Charlotte, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Claxton was considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's matchup, but he didn't practice Sunday and is still wearing a walking boot to protect his sprained left ankle, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. The center will miss a second straight game Monday, and he looks like he may face an uphill battle to be available for Wednesday's game in Miami. Cameron Johnson (calf) will also remain out Monday, opening up spots in the starting five for Cam Thomas and Dorian Finney-Smith once again.
