Day'Ron Sharpe News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Shines in exhibition Sharpe registered 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 17 minutes in Wednesday's 144-128 preseason loss to Miami.

Impact Sharpe made the most of his limited playing time, contributing in five statistical categories while connecting on a three-pointer. However, the center picked up five personal fouls, which disrupted his minutes. He has now recorded multiple steals in consecutive exhibitions and continues to offer Brooklyn rebounding and defensive production in the frontcourt.

Posts three steals in win Sharpe (shoulder) registered four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three assists, three steals, two rebounds and one block across 21 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason victory...

Impact Sharpe returned to the starting lineup after missing Brooklyn's previous preseason contest with a shoulder injury. Although his scoring and rebounding production were limited, the center made an impact defensively with three steals and a block while also distributing three assists. His ability to handle a 21-minute workload is encouraging as the Nets prepare for the regular season.

Good to go Monday Sharpe (shoulder) will play in Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe will return to action after sitting out Thursday's exhibition. With two more preseason contests, Sharpe continues to sit atop the center depth chart.

Won't suit up Thursday Sharpe has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason matchup against Philadelphia due to left shoulder soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact The severity of Sharpe's shoulder issue remains unclear, though the team is likely being cautious for this exhibition. His absence could create additional frontcourt opportunities for Brooklyn's other big men during Thursday's contest.

Meaningful performance in start Sharpe finished with eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason win over the Hornets.

Impact As expected, Sharpe got the starting nod in the preseason opener, a role he is likely to assume heading into the season proper. While his production was serviceable, at best, the fact that he was engaged on both ends of the floor bodes well for his projected fantasy value. While there are some doubts as to whether he plays 'typical' starter minutes, his opportunity should certainly lend itself to standard league relevance.

Preparing for larger workload Sharpe intends to pace himself entering the 2026-27 season as he slots into a starting role, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe ended the 2025-26 campaign as the team's starting center, but he's entering his first full NBA season with the expectation of tackling a larger workload. The big man acknowledges that while he may need to pace himself over the course of a long season, he has no intention of letting his foot off the gas. "I feel like I played against starters last year as well. Sometimes, when I would come in the game, they would put the more physical guy in the game to deal with me. So just do my thing, just keep playing hard," said Sharpe. "And even if it's double the minutes, learn how to pace myself during the game, learning what opportunities to take [to avoid] getting in foul trouble, saving myself for later on in the game. But I'm just going to play hard until the wheels fall off. That's all I can do."

To re-sign with Brooklyn Sharpe (thumb) will sign a two-year, $20 million deal with the Nets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Nets will quickly lock up their new starting center after previously trading away Nic Claxton. Sharpe is coming off a career-best season in 2025-26, posting regular-season averages of 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals. He could offer a lot of appeal in fantasy formats depending on how the rest of the offseason shapes up.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Primed for top center role Sharpe (thumb) is set to function as Brooklyn's starting center in 2026-27 following the trade of Nic Claxton (finger).

Impact The Nets did acquire Julius Randle in the exchange, but there's still a clear void at the center position now that Claxton is gone. Brooklyn still has time to reinforce its frontcourt depth via free agency, but for now it appears Sharpe's primary impediment to the top spot at center is Danny Wolf (ankle). Sharpe, a clear winner initially of Brooklyn's early offseason moves from a fantasy perspective, has made nine appearances as a starter since 2024-25, averaging 12.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game during that period.

Nets backup center Day'Ron Sharpe to have season-ending surgery for torn ligament in his thumb

Brooklyn Nets center Day’Ron Sharpe will miss the rest of the season because of a torn ligament in his left thumb

MARCH 12 • Associated Press

Slated for season-ending surgery Sharpe has been diagnosed with an ulnar collateral ligament tear in his left thumb and will require season-ending surgery, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact This is a tough blow for Sharpe, who was in the process of putting together one of the best campaigns of his young NBA career. He averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 62 games. Both Danny Wolf and Josh Minott should be in the mix for backup center minutes with Sharpe sidelined.

Another absence coming Sharpe (thumb) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Sharpe will be sidelined for the second straight game Thursday. With this news, more minutes will be up for grabs for players like Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Sharpe won't play in Tuesday's game against Detroit due to a left thumb sprain, per Brian Lewis of the New York Post.

Impact Sharpe is sitting out for the first time since the Jan. 19 loss to the Suns. Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji should both see more playing time in the frontcourt in the absence of Sharpe on Tuesday.

Retreating to bench Sharpe isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Heat, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Sharpe drew a spot start at center Sunday with Nic Claxton (thumb) out of commission, but that'll change Tuesday with Claxton returning to play. Sharpe will return to a bench role and hasn't logged more than 19 minutes in his previous four appearances as a reserve, presumably limiting his upside in Miami.

Starting at center Sharpe will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Sharpe is set to make his seventh start of the season as Nic Claxton (thumb) has been ruled out. Sharpe remains a double-double threat even in limited action, evidenced by his 14-point, 11-rebound performance in just 19 minutes against the Spurs last Thursday. With Claxton sidelined, Sharpe should be even more productive.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Continues strong play off bench Sharpe provided 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Sharpe needed only 19 minutes to compile a double-double against the Spurs in a losing effort. Sharpe's performances are on par with starting center Nic Claxton as of late. For the last month Sharpe is averaging 11.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game compared to Claxton's 13.2 points and 6.4 boards with Sharpe seeing seven fewer minutes per contest.

Headed to bench Sharpe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sharpe will head back to the second unit with Nic Claxton (ankle) returning from a three-game absence, so Sharpe's value will take a hit. As a reserve this season, Sharpe owns averages of 8.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Plays well in starting lineup Sharpe recorded 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 105-86 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Sharpe was in the starting lineup for the sixth time of the season and looked like he belong on Friday. The fifth-year man finished with 12 points and eight boards in 27 minutes. He was one of only three Bets players in double figures. He also had a block and two steals. He's accumulated 10 steals in his past seven games.

Double-doubles in spot start Sharpe supplied 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 115-110 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Sharpe got the starting nod for the fourth time this season due to Nic Claxton (hip) being sidelined, and the former made the most of the opportunity. Sharpe racked up 19 points on extremely efficient shooting, matching his season high. The big man was also active on the glass en route to his fourth double-double on the campaign. Sharpe has scored 19 points in three of his last five outings, averaging 13.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 21.2 minutes per game during that span.
