Erik Spoelstra emphasized the spacing Ben Simmons has created for Brooklyn with Nic Claxton out and Cam Thomas' ability to take advantage of it:

this isn’t new information. It’s pretty obvious unless you have Steph Curry and Klay Thompson you can’t play 2 non-shooters on the floor. Someone has to go to the bench. As of now with Cam and Ben building chemistry, I think Claxton needs to come off the bench, and the moment Ben doesn’t play with aggression you bench him.
The Team will be doing themselves a disservice if they continue playing them together because of hurt feelings. Cam Johnson might even need to come off the bench too, I prefer DFS in the starting line. He does the little things Johnson doesn’t do like boxing out and if you watched the Suns vs Spurs game last night, you saw how important boxing out can be.
Was there an update today on when clax is back ?
