Active Friday Sharpe (illness) will play Friday against Toronto
Impact Sharpe figures to operate as a reserve center for Brooklyn with Ben Simmons out due to a knee injury. However, Sharpe shouldn't garner a large enough role to generate any fantasy interest.

Recalled Friday Sharpe (illness) was recalled from the G League's Long Island Nets on Friday, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.
Impact Sharpe practiced with Long Island on Friday but will rejoin the parent club a few hours later. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Friday's game against Toronto.
DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Practicing with G League squad Sharpe (illness) has been sent to practice with the Long Island Nets on Friday.
Impact Sharpe hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 23 and has recently dealt with a non-COVID illness. He was likely assigned to the G League to knock off some rust, and his stay with Long Island may be brief.

Won't play Wednesday Sharpe (illness) won't suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sharpe's absence is due to a non-COVID illness, so it seems unlikely he's facing a long-term stay on the sidelines. He hasn't been part of the rotation lately, so his absence shouldn't mean much from a fantasy standpoint. Sharpe's next chance to return arrives Friday versus the Raptors.

Dealing with non-COVID illness Sharpe is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to a non-COVID illness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Sharpe was a late addition to the injury report due to an ailment and will likely be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's matchup. The backup big man hasn't seen the floor in three straight games, so his potential absence shouldn't have a significant impact on Brooklyn's rotation.

Early season struggles continue Sharpe amassed zero points (0-1 FG) and four rebounds across four minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Sharpe barely saw the floor in the loss, playing fewerthan five minutes for the fifth consecutive game. Even with Nicolas Claxton leaving early due to an eye injury, Sharpe was unable to make the most of what could have been a nice opportunity. Despite a small amount of upside, Sharpe can obviously be ignored in just about every format.

Splits minutes with Claxton Sharpe posted four points (1-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 130-108 loss to New Orleans.
Impact Nicolas Claxton started and played 25 minutes, but Sharpe was, surprisingly, right behind him with 23 minutes. Sharpe was unselected in essentially every fantasy draft, but his rebounding ability nearly ensures he'll have deep-league value if he continues to see 20-plus minutes. Brooklyn is still waiting for some guys to get healthy, like Joe Harris (ankle), Seth Curry (ankle) and T.J. Warren (foot), and Ben Simmons saw just 23 minutes. The rotation is a bit murky. Still, put Sharpe on your watchlist if you're in a 16-teamer.

Team option picked up Brooklyn exercised Sharpe's third-year team option Monday, which keeps him under contract through the 2023-24 campaign, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sharpe started eight of his 32 appearances for the Nets as a rookie and averaged 6.2 points and 5.0 rebounds across 12.2 minutes per game. With Andre Drummond gone, Sharpe could operate as the top center behind Nicolas Claxton, but it's also likely the Nets opt to run Ben Simmons at the five in certain lineups.

Sharp in preseason finale Sharpe tallied 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes Friday in a 112-102 victory versus the Timberwolves.
Impact Sharpe led Brooklyn reserves with 25 minutes and notched the team's only double-double in the exhibition win. The second-year center played in four preseason contests, averaging 9.5 points, 7.2 boards and 1.8 steals over 18.5 minutes. He's in line to back up Nicolas Claxton at center during the regular season, and he's likely to see more than the 12.2 minutes per game he averaged as a rookie last year.

Impact Sharpe was one of six to top double-digit points in the loss and finished a rebound short of a double-double. The big man finished out the second half averaging 18.8 points and 13.1 rebounds in 31.9 minutes through 10 games.

Recalled to NBA club Sharpe was recalled from the G League's Long Island Nets to Brooklyn on Wednesday, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.
Impact Long Island was eliminated from the G League playoffs following a 133-116 loss to the Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday. Sharpe hasn't appeared in an NBA contest since Feb. 28, and with the Nets fighting for playoff positioning, it's unlikely the rookie big man cracks the rotation during the final three games of the regular season.

Returns to NBA squad Sharpe was recalled from the G League's Long Island Nets on Wednesday, Christian Arnold of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Sharpe was sent down to the G League for Tuesday's contest against the Windy City Bulls after LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) was cleared for action. The rookie first-round pick totaled 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 28 minutes. He'll likely serve as a depth piece for Brooklyn, as its frontcourt is finally back to full strength.

Recalled to Brooklyn Sharpe was recalled to the Nets from their G League affiliate Sunday, Christian Arnold of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Sharpe hasn't appeared in an NBA contest since February, so it's unclear if he'll be a part of Brooklyn's rotation. The rookie put up a handful of monster performances during his most recent stint in the G League, including a 30-point, 22 rebound double-double against the Westchester Knicks.

Back with Brooklyn Sharpe was recalled to the Nets on Wednesday, Christian Arnold of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Sharpe tallied 30 points (12-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 22 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during the Long Island Nets' loss to the Westchester Knicks on Wednesday and was called up shortly after. He's made 32 appearances at the NBA level and has averaged 6.2 points and 5.0 rebounds during those contests, though he isn't expected to be available for Brooklyn's matchup with Dallas on Wednesday night.
MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled to Brooklyn Sharpe was recalled to Brooklyn on Sunday, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Schiffer relays that Sharpe will be available for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, but he'll return to the G League when the Nets head to Orlando. He's made 32 appearances at the NBA level and has averaged 6.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 12.2 minutes during those contests.

Tatum leads Boston into matchup against Brooklyn
MARCH 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sent to G League Sharpe was assigned to the G League by the Nets on Friday, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.
Impact Sharpe hasn't seen much playing time of late with Brooklyn's frontcourt getting healthy, so he'll head to the Long Island Nets to receive some playing time. He's averaged 6.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 12.2 minutes over 32 NBA appearances this season, and he should rejoin the parent club if any frontcourt depth is required.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Double-double in Saturday's loss Sharpe scored 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-3 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, three assists and a steal in 27 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 115-111 loss to the Heat.
Impact Kyrie Irving was the only member of the Nets' starting five to make much of an impact, leaving plenty of opportunity for Sharpe to step up and deliver his second career double-double. The rookie center is seeing a bigger role lately given all the absences in the Brooklyn frontcourt, and Sharpe has responded by averaging 7.7 points, 7.5 boards and 1.0 assists in 17.9 minutes during the last 12 games in which he's seen action.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Solid numbers off bench Sharpe scored nine points (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT) while adding 10 rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 113-112 loss to the Wizards.
Impact The rookie center has settled back into a bench role after getting a stint in the starting lineup in January, but Sharpe's main contributions have come on the glass. Over the last four games, he's averaging 6.5 points, 7.0 boards, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 17.8 minutes, but Sharpe could find his role shrinking once trade acquisition Andre Drummond is ready to join the Nets' rotation.
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sniffs double-double off bench Sharpe closed with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Friday's 125-102 loss to Utah.
Impact Sharpe started eight games in a row in January and while he has been moved back to the bench since then, he made the most of his limited on-court time in this one, ending just two boards away from what would've been his second double-double of the season. Despite the fact that he's had a few decent performances throughout the campaign, Sharpe can't be trusted in most fantasy formats due to his role off the bench and the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis.
