Professional career

Brooklyn Nets (2023–present) 2023–24 season The Brooklyn Nets selected Clowney with the 21st overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft. The Nets assigned Clowney to their NBA G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, on October 30, 2023. His first G League action came on November 10, 2023, where he started in their Showcase Cup opener recording game-highs of 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, along with 12 points, in a 123–120 victory over Raptors 905, despite fouling out in just 31 minutes. He played in 15 games, all starts, during the Long Island Nets' 9-7 Showcase Cup campaign, averaging 13.1 points on 56.3% shooting, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game.

Clowney would be recalled to the Nets and assigned back to Long Island numerous times throughout his first year. For the next couple months he would be recalled by Brooklyn and play in NBA games intermittently, still spending the bulk of his time with Long Island. Despite the valiant effort, the win marked the Nets' elimination from playoff contention as the Atlanta Hawks' 121–113 win over the Detroit Pistons put the final Play-In Tournament spot out of reach. With this came a marked increase for minutes for Clowney as Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith shut it down for the season.

2025–26 season Clowney logged career-highs with 31 points and seven three-pointers in a losing effort against the New York Knicks on November 24, 2025.
