Personally, I don\u2019t feel that we should be playing the game. But we feel for them and we\u2019re gonna go out there and do our job.\u201d<br \/>Asked why he thought the game should be called off, Claxton said, \u201cBecause there [are] bigger things going on in the world than basketball.\u201d<br \/>He added the team spoke about what they should do, but declined to elaborate.<br \/>Israel has been at war <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/10\/11\/ex-hamas-chief-calls-for-global-protests-against-israel-friday\/\">since Saturday after being attacked by Hamas<\/a>.<br \/>Head coach Jacque Vaughn said the Nets had been in touch with Maccabi, who still want to play Thursday, which is the team\u2019s first of three scheduled exhibition games against NBA teams.<br \/>\u201cJust organizationally, we have been in contact with Maccabi, and they have reiterated to us that they do want to play the game,\u2019\u2019 Vaughn said.<br \/>The team, which plays in the Israeli National League \u2014 the second-tier league in Israel \u2014 went on a similar tour last year and is made up primarily of players from Israel, as well as some from the U.S.<br \/>Day\u2019Ron Sharpe, who suffered a sprained left ankle against the Lakers in the Nets\u2019 preseason game on Monday, did not practice Wednesday. <br \/>\u201cWe\u2019ll see what he looks like [Thursday],\u2019\u2019 Vaughn said.<br \/>Cam Johnson (hamstring) was also held out of practice, but Vaughn said he is \u201ctrending in the right direction.\u201d<br \/>Vaughn said Cam Thomas \u201cpretty much played in the flow of the offense” on Monday, but the coach also watched Thomas\u2019 performance on the opposite side of the court.<br \/>\u201cFor me, I was looking at the defensive end of the floor,\u2019\u2019 Vaughn said. \u201cWas he in the right position? Were the boxouts the way they were supposed to be? Were the matchups the way they were supposed to be? Was he detailed in his approach? Those things were really good.\u201d<br \/>Thomas led the Nets with 26 points and played a team-high 22:18, shooting 9 of 14 from the floor and 4 of 7 from 3-point range.<br \/>Vaughn was also encouraged by Thomas\u2019 willingness to shoot 3-pointers.<br \/>Dorian Finney-Smith could end up coming off the bench for the Nets.<br \/>\u201c[He] has the ability to play in both units, just because he can do a little bit of everything,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201c[He has] the ability to shoot the three-ball for us, the ability to crash the glass for us [and] to guard multiple positions. So that fits in both units, whenever we get that situated.\u201d<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/podcasts\/\" data-ga-event=\"{"category":"Sports Podcasts","action":"https:\/\/nypost.com\/podcasts\/","label":"ga_current_url"}\" data-ga4-event=\"{"event_name":"ux_engagement","source_unit":"Sports Podcasts"}\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vip.nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/podcast_nypsports_ny_post_sports_sidebar_widget_image_520x280_b.jpg?quality=90&strip=all\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Sports Podcasts\" width=\"260\" height=\"174\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/rss\/articles\/CBMiWmh0dHBzOi8vbnlwb3N0LmNvbS8yMDIzLzEwLzExL25pYy1jbGF4dG9uLWRvZXNudC13YW50LW5ldHMtZ2FtZS12cy1tYWNjYWJpLXJhYW5hbmEtcGxheWVkL9IBXmh0dHBzOi8vbnlwb3N0LmNvbS8yMDIzLzEwLzExL25pYy1jbGF4dG9uLWRvZXNudC13YW50LW5ldHMtZ2FtZS12cy1tYWNjYWJpLXJhYW5hbmEtcGxheWVkL2FtcC8?oc=5\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submit Δ Thanks for contacting us.
