Shaedon Sharpe News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Improving, but return date unknown Head coach Chauncey Billups said Wednesday that Sharpe (abdomen) is "getting better, getting on the court," but the second-year wing remains without a clear target date for a retur...

Impact Sharpe resumed non-contact, on-court work last week with the G League's Rip City Remix and has since rejoined the Trail Blazers to continue his rehab program for the lower abdominal surgery he underwent in January. Though Billups spoke positively about Sharpe's recovery, the update doesn't provide much of an indication if or when the 20-year-old will play again this season. Sharpe looks unlikely to play in either of the final two games of the Trail Blazers' ongoing seven-game road trip, but he a return for any of the final four games of the regular season could still be in the cards.

Begins non-contact practice Coach Chauncey Billups said Wednesday that Sharpe (abdomen) has started participating in non-contact practice with the G League's Rip City Remix, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers...

Impact Sharpe is expected to remain out at least through April 9, when Portland returns from its road trip to play New Orleans. However, the 20-year-old guard is making progress in his recovery and has yet to be ruled out for the rest of the season.

Assigned to G League Sharpe (abdomen) has been assigned to the team's G League affiliate for conditioning.

Impact Sharpe has been out of the lineup since Jan. 11 due to a core muscle injury, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. Sharpe will get some run with the Rip City Remix for practice and conditioning as he ramps up and could potentially return to the Blazers for a couple of games before the season comes to a finish.

Increasing activity Sharpe (abdomen) is ramping up basketball activities and is expected to be re-evaluated over the next few days, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact This update doesn't provide much in terms of a timeline for Sharpe's return, but it's worth noting that he's trending in the right direction. He only has a few weeks remaining until the regular season comes to a close, so it's still unclear whether Sharpe will have enough time to see game action this season.

Doing light shooting Portland head coach Chauncey Billups said Wednesday that Sharpe (abdomen) has resumed light shooting work, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Just under one month removed from undergoing core-muscle surgery, Sharpe seems to be coming along as expected in his recovery, but he's still a long ways away from being ready to play in a game. The Trail Blazers plan to re-evaluate Sharpe in late March, at which point he could be cleared to increase his on-court work. Sharpe has an outside chance of playing a few games in April before the season ends, but fantasy managers in most competitive leagues shouldn't bother with rostering him until then.

Out at least six more weeks Sharpe (abdomen) underwent successful surgery Friday and will be re-evaluated in approximately six weeks, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Sharpe has been sidelined since mid-January due to a lower abdominal strain, and the Trail Blazers announced Tuesday that he'd require surgery. While Sharpe will be re-evaluated in late March, it wouldn't be surprising if the team opts to shut him down for the remainder of the season at that time since Portland is out of contention in the Western Conference. The 20-year-old showed improvement to begin his second professional season, averaging 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 33.1 minutes per game over 32 appearances.

Impact Sharpe has missed Portland's last 13 contests due to a lower abdominal strain. While a return timetable has yet to be determined, he will likely remain out for an extended period. Jabari Walker and Malcolm Brogdon should continue to receive extended minutes in Sharpe's absence.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Coach Chauncey Billups said Sharpe (abdomen) didn't practice Tuesday, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Sharpe has progressed to individual on-court workouts, but he's still not cleared for contact. Portland has two games left this week -- Thursday versus Detroit and Saturday versus New Orleans -- but it'd be surprising to see him suit up for either of those contests.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Sharpe (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Sharpe hasn't played since Jan. 11 after aggravating a lower abdominal strain, which initially caused him to miss Portland's final five games in December. He returned to basketball activities at the end of January and is ramping up his on-court work, but it's unclear if he's been cleared for contact yet. Sharpe's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Detroit.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Sharpe (abdomen) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Friday will mark Sharpe's 12th consecutive game missed due to injury, but his recent return to participating in basketball activities is an encouraging sign he may return in the coming days or weeks. The Blazers definitely miss his production, as prior to injury he averaged 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks through 33.1 minutes.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to basketball activities The Trail Blazers announced Wednesday that Sharpe (abdomen) is making good progress in his rehab and will begin ramping up with light-on court activities.

Impact Sharpe missed five games at the end of December due to an adductor injury but returned and played in six straight games before aggravating the issue during a Jan. 11 matchup in Oklahoma City. He's been sidelined since and will miss an 11th consecutive contest Wednesday versus Milwaukee. Given he isn't cleared for contact, Sharpe still has a few hurdles to clear before suiting up, but following Wednesday's game, Portland ends Week 15 with back-to-back matchups in Denver on Friday and Sunday.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Milwaukee Sharpe (abdomen) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Sharpe's absence streak will extend to 11 games Wednesday while dealing with a right abdominal strain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Denver.

Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe out with lower abdominal strain The second-year guard, who is averaging 15.9 points per game, will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

JANUARY 16 • OREGONLIVE.COM

To be re-evaluated in two weeks Sharpe (thigh) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after further testing showed a lower abdominal strain, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Sharpe has missed two straight games after aggravating a pre-existing injury, and he'll be shut down for at least the next two weeks following this latest update. Look for Malcolm Brogdon (groin) and Matisse Thybulle (illness) to pick up additional opportunities in Sharpe's absence, assuming they're able to return to health.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Sunday Sharpe (thigh) will not play in Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact Sharpe will miss his second straight game after aggravating his injury during Thursday's loss to the Thunder. Portland is off until Wednesday's game against the Nets after they take on the Suns, but it remains to be seen if Sharpe will be ready for that one.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Sharpe (adductor) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Impact During Thursday's loss to Oklahoma City, Sharpe aggravated an adductor injury that caused him to miss five straight games at the end of December, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for the second half of Portland's back-to-back set. He can also be considered questionable, at best, for Sunday's matchup in Phoenix. Malcolm Brogdon (rest) is expected to play Friday after being a late scratch Thursday, so he should absorb most of Sharpe's missing minutes.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Thursday Sharpe will not return to Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a right adductor strain. He finished with seven points (3-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 21 mi...

Impact Sharpe has been battling this issue for a while, but it's also possible that the lopsided score factored into the decision. Portland plays again Friday versus the Timberwolves, and it remains to be seen if Sharpe will be able to give it a go. If not, Portland could turn to Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle to soak up some minutes.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Dominates off bench in victory Sharpe finished Sunday's 134-127 overtime win over Brooklyn with 21 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals across 40 minutes.

Impact Sharpe led all bench players in Sunday's contest in scoring while connecting on a trio of threes and adding a pair of steals en route to ending as one of three Trail Blazers with 20 or more points in an overtime victory. Sharpe has scored at least 20 points in 10 games this year and has tallied 15 or more points in three straight appearances.

Minutes restriction lifted Sharpe won't have a minutes restriction during Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

Impact Following a five-game absence, Sharpe has operated off the bench for three straight games, averaging 21.3 minutes during that stretch. Before the injury, Sharpe was playing 36.1 minutes per night. He likely won't return to that type of workload right away, but it's safe to expect him to play around 30 minutes versus Brooklyn.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Still on minutes restriction Sharpe is on a minutes restriction for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Sharpe will come off the bench for the second straight game after missing Portland's previous five contests with a strained adductor. Sharpe will likely receive a similar workload to the 18 minutes he played against Phoenix.
