Amid an underwhelming start to the season, Clowney’s struggles boiled over in Dallas. The fourth-year forward fouled out in just 7:47.Clowney finished with two points, zero rebounds and zero assists on 1-of-3 shooting. Jordi Fernandez called out the 22-year-old for his fouling following the loss.“That’s something that he’s gotta figure out. He put us in the bonus right away, in one minute. That’s tough,” Fernandez said. “I think it comes from a good place because Noah is an extremely competitive guy, but doing the war on your own, it’s just tough at times when you do it that way. You gotta choose the right way to do it and channel all that energy, and sometimes frustration, the right way. I think the one person who is helping him and will help him is Juwan [Howard], because he’s been there. I know that the intentions are great. It’s just keep doing what’s best for the group.”Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Clowney’s inability to defend or hold up on the defensive glass without fouling has been a problem for Brooklyn.
