Day'Ron Sharpe - Slated for MRI Sharpe (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Sharpe suffered a left knee sprain during Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, and he'll require additional imaging in Brooklyn on Monday to determine the extent of his injury. He won't make the initial trip to Paris with the rest of the team ahead of Thursday's game against Cleveland, but coach Jacque Vaughn said that Sharpe could potentially join the team later, depending on the severity of his injury.

Day'Ron Sharpe - Won't return Sunday Sharpe will not return to Sunday's contest after suffering a left knee sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe was helped to the locker room after suffering the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest. The initial diagnosis of a knee sprain will certainly be followed by additional testing for the 22-year-old. If he dodged a major injury, he'll have three full days of rest until Brooklyn next takes the court Thursday against Cleveland.

Day'Ron Sharpe - Heads to locker room Sharpe went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to an apparent leg injury, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Sharpe went down after contesting a layup in the closing minutes of Sunday's matchup and appeared to be in considerable pain afterward. The severity of his injury isn't yet clear, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him out for the rest of the game since he exited with just over three minutes remaining. Prior to his departure, he tallied 11 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a block in 17 minutes.

Lonnie Walker IV - Handles light role in return Walker (hamstring/illness) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in six minutes Friday in the Nets' 124-115 win over the Thunder.

Impact Walker checked into the game to begin the second quarter and checked out with 6:05 remaining in the period. He never returned to the contest, though the Nets didn't indicate that Walker experienced any sort of setback in what was his first appearance in more than a month following an extended absence due to a hamstring injury and an illness. Aside from Ben Simmons (back), the Nets have all their key rotation players available, so Walker looks as though he'll have to settle for a small role on the second unit in most games.

Dennis Smith Jr. - Shines off bench Friday Smith totaled 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-115 win over the Thunder.

Impact Smith struggled with his shot from beyond the arc, but that's perhaps the only issue he encountered in one of his best personal displays in recent memory. Smith ended just three assists away from recording a double-double, and while he's not going to steal the starting point guard role away from Spencer Dinwiddie any time soon, he might be in line for an uptick in minutes, given how productive he's looked off the bench of late. Over his last eight outings (one start), Smith is averaging 8.4 points, 4.6 assists, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals across 21.1 minutes per game.

Nic Claxton - Records double-double F Claxton amassed 23 points (8-11 FG, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 124-115 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Claxton was impressive on both ends of the court and lifted the Nets to a huge win in front of their fans while ending a five-game losing skid. Claxton's performance was even better considering he was tasked with slowing down Chet Holmgren, one of the most versatile big men in the NBA. Claxton is a double-double threat every time he steps on the court, and he has achieved that feat in five of his last six appearances.

Spencer Dinwiddie - Goes for 23 points Friday Dinwiddie closed Friday's 124-115 win over the Thunder with 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 33 minutes.

Impact Dinwiddie reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Dec. 2, and he played a big role in this win, allowing the Nets to finally snap a five-game losing streak. Even though the veteran floor general has adapted to a secondary role on offense, he can still produce big games from time to time. Even though he's not likely to carry the Nets offensively on a regular basis, he remains a decent fantasy alternative across all formats.
