DAY'RON SHARPE NEWS

Quiet in loss Sharpe racked up two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Saturday's 108-103 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Sharpe was a non-factor in the loss, delivering arguably his worst all-around performance of the season. Despite his per-minute upside, Sharpe has been unable to move up in the rotation, playing as the primary backup behind Nic Claxton. With Claxton having been relatively healthy for the majority of the season, Sharpe's role has plateaued at around 18.0 minutes per game. In that time, he is averaging 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 combined steals and blocks.

Season-high 16 rebounds in start Sharpe ended Saturday's 115-113 loss to the Celtics with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes.

Impact Making his second start of the season for the resting Nic Claxton, Sharpe crashed the glass for a season-high 16 rebounds Saturday to pace the Nets in this area. Given that Claxton is not dealing with an injury, Sharpe is likely to revert back to the second unit in Sunday's tilt against Atlanta. However, Sharpe has impressed in his limited run as a starter in 2024-25, averaging 17.0 points, 15.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes through two games in the first unit.

Promoted to starting role Sharpe is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sharpe will move into the starting lineup since the Nets will be without Nic Claxton (rest) for this matchup. Sharpe has made just one appearance as a starter this season, posting 25 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, two steals and three blocks across 31 minutes in a loss to the Thunder on Feb. 26.

Makes defensive impact off bench Sharpe contributed four points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's 105-102 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Despite coming off the bench, Sharpe led the Nets in blocks Saturday while sharing the center minutes with Nicolas Claxton. Sharpe's fantasy upside will remain limited as long as Claxton is healthy, though. Through nine games (one start) post-All-Star break, Sharpe has averaged 7.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 19.1 minutes.

Back to bench Friday Sharpe is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sharpe started Wednesday due to Nic Claxton serving a one-game suspension, and the former finished with 25 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals over 31 minutes. With Claxton returning for Friday's contest, Sharpe will retreat to the bench as serve as the Nets' backup center.

Outstanding in starting role Sharpe accumulated 25 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Sharpe started for the first time this season due to the absence of Nic Claxton (suspension) and made his presence felt on both ends of the court after notching an impressive stat line. The former UNC star recorded season-high marks in points and rebounds while also tying his season-best output in assists. However, as good as he was Wednesday, he should return to the bench since Claxton will be eligible to return against the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Starting Wednesday Sharpe is part of the Nets' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sharpe will step into Nic Claxton's (suspension) vacated spot in the starting lineup against the Thunder. It'll be Sharpe's first start of the campaign. In 35 appearances this season, Sharpe is averaging 8.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 17.3 minutes.

Collects four swats in defeat Sharpe logged seven points (3-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four blocks, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 110-97 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Sharpe came three points shy of his fourth double-double of the season Thursday, and he struggled with efficiency while putting up double-digit shot attempts for just the fifth time in the 2024-25 campaign. However, the big man's game- and season-high four blocks across only 20 minutes were the highlight of his night. Sharpe will likely continue to receive fairly consistent playing time off the bench, as he has averaged 9.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 17.5 minutes per game over his last 10 outings. He has shot 59.7 percent from the field in that 10-game span.

Nears double-double in win Sharpe provided 14 points (7-12 FG), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 97-89 win over the Hornets.

Impact Sharpe has proven to be a valuable asset for the Nets while also becoming a factor from a fantasy perspective. The up-and-coming big man came one rebound shy of recording his fourth double-double of the season for Brooklyn while finishing two points away from tying his season-high point total (16). The 23-year-old is averaging a career-high 8.2 points per game to go along with 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

Available vs. Washington Sharpe (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact After filling up the stat sheet defensively in Tuesday's win against the Rockets, finishing with three blocks and two steals, Sharpe will play in the second game of a back-to-back Wednesday against Washington. The 23-year-old big man is averaging a career-high 7.9 points per game this season to go along with 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per contest, shooting 50 percent from the field for Brooklyn.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Sharpe is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Nets could exercise caution here. Trendon Watford (rest) has already been ruled out, so the Nets may need Jalen Wilson to soak up some minutes if Sharpe can't go.

Strong two-way effort in win Sharpe contributed eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 99-97 victory over Houston.

Impact Sharpe continues to push his claim for more playing time, producing another strong two-way performance. Despite averaging just 18.0 minutes per contest over the past six games, Sharpe has managed to put up averages of 8.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks. Should things change in Brooklyn down the stretch, there is a chance Sharpe could see an uptick in playing time before all is said and done.

Leads bench with 13 points Sharpe tallied 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 17 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 win over the Rockets.

Impact Sharpe was questionable to play Saturday due to a left hamstring injury that he suffered against the Hornets on Wednesday. He was able to play through the injury and ended up leading the Nets' reserve in scoring. It was the seventh time Sharpe scored in double digits since Jan. 1.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Looks like a go for Saturday Updating a previous report, Sharpe (hamstring) is not listed on the official injury report for Saturday's game against Houston.

Impact Sharpe was injured in the team's last game against Charlotte, so his status might be worth checking ahead of the evening tipoff. However, it looks like he may be able to give it a go. With Noah Clowney out in the frontcourt for the Nets, there may be extra minutes to go around for Sharpe, assuming he does indeed suit up.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Saturday Sharpe (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Houston.

Impact Sharpe will miss Saturday's contest after sustaining the left hamstring injury in Wednesday's win over the Hornets. However, the big man received clean scans and was able to practice Friday, which bodes well for his status ahead of Tuesday's rematch against Houston. With Sharpe sidelined, Trendon Watford and Nic Claxton will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Practices Friday Head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Sharpe underwent scans on his hamstring that came back clean and was able to practice Friday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sharpe exited Wednesday's win over the Hornets in the second quarter and didn't return due to the hamstring injury. However, the big man's clean scans and presence at practice bodes well for his status ahead of Saturday's matchup against Houston. In his last five outings entering Wednesday, Sharpe had averaged 9.2 points and 6.4 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game.

Leaves early with injury Sharpe leaves Wednesday's game against the Hornets with a hamstring tightness, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sharpe was forced to leave Wednesday's game in Charlotte early due to a hamstring issue. The 23-year-old big man played only 10 minutes for the Nets against the Hornets before being ruled out for the rest of the game, finishing his night with five points, rebounds and an assist.

Double-doubles off bench Sharpe contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 23 minutes during Monday's 110-96 loss to the Kings.

Impact Sharpe recorded his third double-double of the season, continuing to flash some nice upside despite his limited role. Nic Claxton was battling foul issues throughout the contest, allowing Sharpe to see a handful of extra minutes. While there could very well come a time when Sharpe is playing meaningful minutes on a nightly basis, it appears as though we aren't quite there yet.

Suiting up Sunday Sharpe (eye) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sharpe was added to the injury report earlier Sunday with an eye injury, but the big man will suit up and should see minutes off the bench. He's averaging 7.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 17.4 minutes per game this season.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Sunday Sharpe has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder with a right eye injury, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sharpe was a late addition to the injury report with what appears to be a new issue. Sharpe has fared well in limited minutes this season, averaging 7.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 17.4 minutes. If he's unable to play, guys like Jalen Wilson and Tosan Evbuomwan could see more playing time.

Grabs season-high 14 boards Sharpe accumulated 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-7 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 126-67 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Sharpe was active on both ends of the court and finished with a double-double in a game where his team lost by a whopping 59 points. The 14 boards were a season-high mark for Sharpe, who is finding ways to make his presence felt every time he gets minutes. That said, his upside will remain pretty low as long as he continues to play off the bench regularly.
