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

Starting sans Claxton Sharpe is starting in Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact The big man is getting a crack in the first unit in the absence of Nic Claxton (personal) on Friday. It'll be the first start of the season for Sharpe, who averaged 17.0 points, 15.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 30.8 minutes per game covering a pair of regular-season contests as a starter in 2024-25.

Logs career high in loss Sharpe closed Thursday's 120-96 loss to the Rockets with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 19 minutes.

Impact After shooting 1-for-3 from the field across 12 minutes in Monday's loss to Golden State, Sharpe bounced back and provided a solid all-around effort Thursday. The big man recorded a team- and career-high seven assists, dishing out at least five dimes for the third time this season. Sharpe continues to see relatively consistent playing time off the bench behind Nic Claxton, and the former has averaged 7.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 17.8 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Fares well off bench Sharpe notched eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 20 minutes during Sunday's 96-81 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Sharpe has excelled as Nicolas Claxton's backup in Brooklyn. Over his last four outings, he has produced 11th-round fantasy value in just 16.0 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals on 58.8 percent shooting from the field.

Stuffs stat sheet off bench Sharpe notched 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and four steals in 17 minutes during Sunday's 127-82 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Sharpe ended just two boards away from posting a double-double, but he also made an impact as a playmaker and defender -- he posted season-high marks in assists and steals. Sharpe has been productive off the bench lately and has scored in double digits in three of his previous four outings. He's averaging 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks across 16.0 minutes off the bench since the beginning of December.

Hits for 16 off bench Sharpe totaled 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 19 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 119-101 victory over New Orleans.

Impact The fifth-year center scored in double digits for a second straight game, the first time all season he's accomplished even that modest feat. Sharpe has struggled to make a consistent impact offensively this season, but he's been a little more active defensively of late -- over the last 10 games, he's averaging 7.7 points, 5.5 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.4 combined steals and blocks in 16.9 minutes from the second unit.

Disappointing season continues Sharpe chipped in six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 116-103 win over the Hornets.

Impact Sharpe hasn't made much of an impact this season, failing to take any real strides on either end of the court. Through 19 games, he has averaged just 6.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per contest. As long as Nic Claxton is healthy, there is no reason to be holding Sharpe outside of deeper formats.

Grabs eight boards in loss Sharpe finished Monday's 113-100 loss to New York with five points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes.

Impact Sharpe logged at least 20 minutes for just the second time this season, playing a slightly larger role with Nic Claxton struggling with a quad injury. It's been an uneventful season for Sharpe, playing second fiddle to Claxton, much like last year. He has limited streaming appeal but really needs Claxton to sit out to have any chance of putting up meaningful value.

Season-best performance Sharpe had 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Sharpe reminded everyone just what he is capable of, turning in his best all-around performance of the season. He continues to sit behind Nic Claxton in the rotation, resulting in a backup role, typically yielding minutes in the mid-teens. Despite this effort, there is no indication his playing time will increase moving forward, making him a viable streaming option at best.

Good to go Friday Sharpe (lower body) is good to go for Friday's game against Orlando, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe will shake off a probable tag and will likely reprise his role as the backup center. The big man holds averages of 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 15.9 minutes per contest across 10 games this season.

Probable for Friday Sharpe (glute) is probable for Friday's game against Orlando, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact After missing Tuesday's loss to Toronto with a glute contusion, Sharpe is likely to return to the lineup Friday. The 2021 first-rounder should handle the backup center role behind Nic Claxton. Sharpe has averaged 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 15.9 minutes per contest across 10 games this season, shooting 64.9 percent from the field.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed out for Tuesday Sharpe (glute) won't play Tuesday against the Raptors.

Impact After leaving Sunday's loss to the Knicks early due to left hamstring tightness, the injury is now being described as a left glute contusion. That's good news for Sharpe, and it means he'll likely be listed as day-to-day. Guys like Jalen Wilson, Noah Clowney and maybe Danny Wolf could see more opportunities with this news.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Sharpe (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe is in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's contest after leaving Sunday's loss to the Knicks early due to left hamstring tightness. If the 24-year-old center is unable to suit up against Toronto, Jalen Wilson and Noah Clowney are candidates for increased minutes, while rookie Danny Wolf could enter the rotation.

Set for testing on hamstring Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said after Sunday's 134-98 loss to the Knicks that Sharpe would undergo testing on his left hamstring Monday to determine the severity of the injury...

Impact Sharpe contributed 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 12 minutes before exiting Sunday's contest with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. Though an official timeline for Sharpe's return won't be provided until his tests are completed, the Nets already seem to be bracing for him to miss at least their next game Tuesday versus the Raptors. Brooklyn recalled Danny Wolf from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, and the rookie first-round pick will be a candidate to enter the rotation as starting center Nic Claxton's top backup if Sharpe can't play Tuesday.

Dealing with hamstring issue Sharpe exited Sunday's 134-98 loss to the Knicks in the third quarter and didn't return due to left hamstring tightness, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sharpe logged 12 minutes before leaving the game, finishing with 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block. The Nets are expected to provide an update on his status for Tuesday's game against the Raptors by Monday night. If he's ultimately ruled out, Jalen Wilson and Danny Wolf are candidates for increased minutes.

Pulls down seven rebounds in loss Sharpe produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 125-109 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Sharpe's role as the backup center behind Nic Claxton hs been consistent, but the amount of field goals he attempts varies widely from game to game. While Sharpe has been efficient from the field when he does take a shot, averaging 69.2 percent from the field, he only attempts 3.7 field goals per game for an average of 6.4 points, which is heavily inflated by 17 and 14 point performances earlier in the season.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in defeat Sharpe ended with 17 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Monday's 137-109 loss to the Rockets.

Impact After totaling just eight points and five rebounds in 29 minutes over his previous two appearances, Sharpe secured his first double-double of the season. The 23-year-old center was one of four Brooklyn players to score in double figures and also led all players in rebounds. Sharpe should continue to serve as Nic Claxton's primary backup at center.

Spark off bench in loss Sharpe provided 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Sharpe stepped up off the bench and delivered when called upon, scoring an efficient 14 points -- a mark he reached or surpassed just four times in 50 regular-season games last year. Though he's firmly behind Nic Claxton on the depth chart, his strong showing on opening night proved that he can still fill up the stat sheet and make an impact in limited minutes.
