DAY'RON SHARPE NEWS

Still working through injury Sharpe (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Sharpe suffered a left hamstring strain in early October during training camp. He was ruled out for at least six weeks due to the injury, so Sharpe could be close to making his 2024-25 regular-season debut. His next chance to do so will be Friday against the 76ers.

Out at least six weeks Sharpe will miss at least six weeks with a left hamstring strain, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact This is a brutal blow for the Nets, as Sharpe is one of the most reliable backup centers in the NBA. Trendon Watford is also battling a hamstring strain and is expected to miss a couple weeks. Based on Sharpe's timetable, the earliest he could return is Nov. 19 against the Hornets. Noah Clowney could see increased run to open the season as a result, while Nic Claxton could have a higher floor in fantasy basketball.

Hamstring issue emerges Sharpe is being evaluated for a hamstring injury, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Sharpe has fully recovered from a right wrist effusion from last year but now appears to be dealing with a new hamstring injury. His status for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Clippers is in question.

Appears good to go Sharpe (wrist) participated in Brooklyn's practice Wednesday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sharpe battled a right wrist effusion at the end of the 2023-24 season, but the 22-year-old had a smooth offseason of recovery. He enters training camp competing with Noah Clowney for back-up frontcourt minutes.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play season finale Sunday Sharpe (wrist) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Sharpe ends the regular season having missed three of Brooklyn's last six games, and while the game had some ups and downs throughout the campaign, he ended up scoring in double digits in 15 different appearances despite playing mostly off the bench. The third-year big man averaged 6.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 15.1 minutes per game this season, with each of those figures representing career-high marks for him.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Sharpe (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe was downgraded from questionable to doubtful in the hours leading up to Friday's tipoff, so it isn't very surprising to see him ruled out. Trendon Watford could see additional playing time against the Knicks, while Sharpe's final chance to play during the regular season will be Sunday against Philadelphia.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Now unlikely to play Friday Sharpe (wrist) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Knicks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sharpe has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to right wrist effusion. If he's ultimately ruled out, Trendon Watford is a candidate to receive increased playing time.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Sharpe (right wrist effusion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Sharpe was a late addition to the injury report which is not exactly a great sign. He's had a very limited role lately, averaging 11.7 minutes in his last nine appearances.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role Friday Sharpe supplied two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds across six minutes during Friday's 125-108 win over the Bulls.

Impact Sharpe played just six minutes off the bench, the fewest he has played when healthy since the second game of the regular season. Despite having a fantasy-friendly game, Sharpe simply doesn't see enough playing time to warrant serious attention. He is someone to watch heading into next season, should the Nets opt to play him more often.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Huge night on glass Sharpe finished with eight points (4-11 FG), 17 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 24 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 104-91 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The 17 boards were a career high for Sharpe, topping the 15 he pulled down against the Knicks on Dec. 20. The third-year center has only 20 rebounds over the prior five games combined however, and he hasn't recorded a double-double since Jan. 3. Tuesday was also the first time in March Sharpe had played 20-plus minutes in a game, and without a more consistent role in the Brooklyn rotation, he's tough to roster in almost any format.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well in loss Sharpe finished Sunday's 122-115 overtime loss to the Spurs with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes.

Impact This was Sharpe's largest workload in March, and he reached double figures for the first time since Feb. 29. Sharpe is a strong per-minute player in fantasy basketball, but he's averaged just 14.6 minutes through seven March appearances.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Sharpe (wrist) is available for Saturday's game in Charlotte, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sharpe was given a probable designation on Brooklyn's initial injury report, so this progress is not surprising. He is returning from a two-game absence stemming from a wrist injury. The 22-year-old has averaged 6.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.3 triples across 14.0 minutes over his last nine games.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Saturday Sharpe (wrist) is probable for Saturday's game versus Charlotte, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sharpe is expected to return to action Saturday after missing Brooklyn's previous two contests with a right wrist contusion. If Sharpe is further upgraded to available, he should serve as Brooklyn's primary backup center behind Nic Claxton.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Philadelphia Sharpe (wrist) won't play in Thursday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Sharpe will miss his second consecutive game Thursday after being downgraded from questionable to out with a right wrist contusion. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Charlotte.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Thursday Sharpe (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the 76ers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe is in danger of missing his second straight contest Thursday due to a right contusion. Jalen Wilson and Nic Claxton should continue to receive extended minutes if Sharpe remains out.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Tuesday Sharpe (wrist) will not play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe suffered a right wrist injury Monday against the Grizzlies, but the Nets are calling it a contusion. That suggests that he will likely be day-to-day moving forward, and it's possible the Nets are being cautious on the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Sharpe out, Nic Claxton could see a heavy workload and Noah Clowney may see some rare minutes after being recalled from the G League.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers wrist injury Sharpe had his wrist evaluated by the training staff after taking hard fall during Monday's 106-102 loss to Memphis, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Sharpe finished with 14 minutes...

Impact Sharpe's status will need to be monitored as Brooklyn closes a back-to-back set Tuesday against Philadelphia. Interim coach Kevin Ollie noted postgame that he had "no update" on Sharpe's expected availability for Tuesday, per Barnes. Nic Claxton was sharp with the lion's share of the workload Monday, delivering 21 points (8-10 FG) and six rebounds in 33 minutes.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive off bench Thursday Sharpe amassed 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Thursday's 124-97 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Sharpe played fewer minutes than Nic Claxton and Dorian Finney-Smith, but he outplayed them both with an efficient outing -- he only missed two shots from the field while ending two boards shy of a double-double. Sharpe can get the job done on both ends of the court when given enough minutes, but his fantasy upside will remain limited if he continues to play off the bench on a regular basis.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Eight points, eight boards in win Sharpe produced eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 111-86 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Sharpe is the league's second-most impactful rebounder on a per-minute basis this season, trailing only Andre Drummond. He is averaging a modest 7.0 points and 6.7 rebounds with no defensive playmaking across three contests since the All-Star break, but his categorical dominance makes him worth monitoring down the stretch.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Strong per-minute producer in return Sharpe (knee) tallied six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across nine minutes in Tuesday's 118-110 loss to the Celtics.

Impact In his return from a 15-game absence due to a hyperextended left knee, Sharpe was a plus-3 during his time on the court and produced quality numbers, but he may not have a pathway to consistently see 15-plus minutes off the bench while the Nets have all of their key frontcourt options available. However, Sharpe is off the injury report for Wednesday's rematch with Boston and could face less of a challenge for the backup minutes behind starting center Nic Claxton, as Ben Simmons (knee) is resting for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Says he'll play Tuesday Sharpe (knee) said Monday that he'll play in Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Sharpe has missed over a month due to a left knee injury, but he'll be able to return to action in the first half of a back-to-back set Tuesday. He averaged 7.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game prior to his injury, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him face some restrictions Tuesday following his lengthy absence.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Still out indefinitely Sharpe (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Sharpe hyperextended his left knee Jan. 7 and hasn't played since. He doesn't have a return timetable and hasn't been cleared for full-contract drills, so he can be considered week-to-week.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sharpe (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Impact Sharpe hasn't played since hyperextending his left knee Jan. 7 and still doesn't have a return timetable. He went through an individual workout Monday but still hasn't been cleared for contact, per Evan Barnes of Newsday. Sharpe can be considered week-to-week at this point.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

No timetable for return Sharpe (knee) is ramping up conditioning and weight room activities, although he does not have a timeline for returning to action, Lucas Kaplan of NetsDaily reports.

Impact Sharpe hyperextended his left knee on Jan. 7 and has been sidelined since. The 22-year-old was logging a career-high 16.0 minutes per game across 37 appearances for Brooklyn prior to the injury, producing 7.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Re-evaluated in two weeks Sharpe was diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in about two weeks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe suffered the injury Sunday against Portland and his absence will be a blow to the Nets, as he's been fantastic off the bench. Given this timeframe, it's likely that Sharpe will miss at least six games, with the earliest potential return being Jan. 25 against Minnesota. The Nets aren't afraid of using small-ball lineups, so guys like Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale could see an uptick in minutes. Starting center Nic Claxton could also have a higher fantasy floor in the short term.
