Nets' Noah Clowney: Won't return Wednesday

Clowney has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a lower back injury, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Clowney fell on his back and checked out of the game with 26 seconds left in the third quarter before Brooklyn ruled him out for the rest of the contest. The second-year forward started and played 28 minutes prior to departing, finishing with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal. The Nets will return to action Thursday in Milwaukee for the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the quick turnaround could make it difficult for Clowney to show enough improvement to play in that game.
