E.J. Liddell: Everything you need to know

Liddell fouled out of Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors after recording 17 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes. With Nic Claxton (finger) and Noah Clowney (ankle) on the sidelines, the third-year journeyman took on a larger role and finished with a decent line. Liddell is on his third NBA team in three seasons, although he's had the most success with the Nets. Liddell's future with the team depends heavily on what the Nets do in the draft and how they approach the trade market in the offseason.

Liddell was ejected from Friday's game against the Bucks after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. Liddell was tagged with the Flagrant 2 foul early in the fourth quarter for smacking Jericho Sims in the face with the forearm. Liddell will end his night with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes. Chaney Johnson could see some additional run time the rest of the way due to Liddell's absence.

Liddell logged 26 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Thursday's 123-94 loss to the Pacers. Liddell started a third consecutive contest for the injury-riddled Nets and made the most of the opportunity. After scoring 21 points in Tuesday's win over Milwaukee, the two-way player erupted for a career-high 26 points against Indiana, matching the game-high mark. He also led Brooklyn with a career high in rebounds, securing his first career double-double. It's unclear if Nic Claxton (finger) and Noah Clowney (ankle) will return this season, so Liddell may continue to operate in an expanded role.
