Day'Ron Sharpe News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets | FOX Sports

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.

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.

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.

Can't crack rotation Sharpe (coach's decision) didn't see the court in Sunday's 110-106 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Though he was cleared to return from a one-game absence due to the illness, Sharpe was unable to head coach Steve Nash crack the rotation despite starting in each of his previous eight appearances. Even though LaMarcus Aldridge exited the contest early with an ankle sprain that will likely sideline him when Brooklyn returns to action Tuesday in Phoenix, Sharpe still found himself behind all of Nicolas Claxton, Aldridge, Blake Griffin and James Johnson in the pecking order for minutes at center.

Good to go Saturday Sharpe (illness) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Sharpe returns following a one-game absence. He's started in his past eight appearances, but Nicolas Claxton will presumably enter the starting five sooner than later. Once that happens, Sharpe's 19.5 minutes per game during this stretch will likely be reduced.

Out Wednesday Sharpe has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a non-COVID illness, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Sharpe has made eight consecutive starts at center for the Nets, but they'll have to adjust Wednesday as he is sidelined with the illness. LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin could see increased run in the Nets' frontcourt as long as Sharpe is out.

Paces team in rebounds Sharpe registered eight points (4-7 FG), nine rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 136-125 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Sharpe started a seventh consecutive game Sunday, and he remained productive on the boards while hitting 57.1 percent of his field-goal attempts in the loss. The 20-year-old has scored 10-plus points in four of his appearances since joining the starting lineup, and he's brought in at least six rebounds in each of those outings.

Stands out in starting role Sharpe racked up 20 points (10-14 FG), seven rebounds and one block across 22 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 138-112 win over the Bulls.

Impact Sharpe made his first NBA start due to injuries to LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring). The rookie wasn't overwhelmed by the opportunity, registering his highest point total of the season with an efficient effort from the field while tying a season high by corralling seven boards. Sharpe should continue getting extended run for as long as Aldridge and Claxton remain out of action.

Delivers 19 points, 12 boards Sharpe totaled 19 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks during Saturday's 114-110 win over the G League Raptors.

Impact Sharpe was a menace on both sides of the ball, contributing in multiple stat categories. Unfortunately, that also includes five turnovers. Nonetheless, the big man has put up a double-double in both of his G League contests, and he should remain a solid piece of Long Island's starting five while he bides his time for a return to the NBA.
