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.

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.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

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.

Impact Sharpe and the rest of the Nets reserves got an extended run during the fourth quarter after trailing by as many as 39 points during Tuesday's loss.
