Impact The third-year center produced his fourth double-double of the season, and Sharpe has supplied double-digit boards five times in 10 December games despite averaging just 17.3 minutes a night over that stretch. The Nets have been unwilling to increase his role, even when Nic Claxton was sidelined early in the season, but Sharpe is finding a way to contribute even with limited court time.

Impact Sharpe saw an uptick in playing time Thursday after playing just eight minutes during Wednesday's win over Phoenix. He made the most of his increased minutes and came within two points of a double-double while securing double-digit boards for the third time in his last five appearances.

Impact It was Sharpe's third double-double of the season and the second straight game he had 10-plus rebounds. His five offensive rebounds led the team as he got extended playing time off the bench in a blowout win. Sharpe has now played 20-plus minutes in two of his last three games and his minutes have steadily increased as the season has progressed.

Nearly double-doubles Sharpe finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Nic Claxton missed Sunday's game with an ankle issue, and it's unclear if he'll be able to play Tuesday against the Raptors. Although he didn't start Sunday, Sharpe made a big impact for the Nets and gave the coaching staff something to think about. He has fared well in limited minutes all season, posting averages of 6.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 15.1 minutes per game.

Bags second double-double Sharpe posted 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one block across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 124-104 loss to the Magic.

Impact Sharpe came away with his second double-double of the season, clearing 20 minutes for the first time due in large part to starting center Nic Claxton battling foul trouble early on during the contest. Even while seeing just 14.0 minutes per game over his 11 appearances, Sharpe has averaged 7.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.5 blocks, numbers that would make him intriguing if he can take hold of a more sizable role. However, considering he didn't see his playing time spike dramatically while Claxton recently missed eight consecutive games, it's difficult to envision Sharpe getting to 20 minutes with any sort of regularity.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down 12 rebounds Sharpe racked up eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 win over the Wizards.

Impact The 12 rebounds mark a season high for Sharpe, and it's notable that he did this despite Nic Claxton's return from an ankle issue. Ben Simmons is currently out with a hip issue and is day-to-day, so his return could complicate Sharpe's path to minutes since Simmons can be deployed as a small-ball center.

Records double-double off bench Sharpe racked up 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 100-93 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Sharpe recorded a team-high 10 rebounds in Friday's victory despite coming off the bench. The 22-year-old has logged double-digit minutes in three straight games and could continue to see extended playing time with Nic Claxton (ankle) out.

Excellent in limited minutes Sharpe contributed 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 10 minutes during Monday's 133-121 win over Charlotte.

Impact The workload wasn't ideal, but Sharpe made a case for a larger role with his play Monday night. The concern here is that Nicolas Claxton (ankle) isn't even healthy yet, so it will be interesting to see how the frontcourt shapes up with Ben Simmons playing so well as a small-ball center.

Fourth-year option exercised The Nets exercised Sharpe's fourth-year team option Thursday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sharpe came off the bench during Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Cavaliers and tallied four points, two rebounds and two blocks in 12 minutes. While his role off the bench could remain limited as the season progresses, Thursday's move will keep him under contract with the club through the 2024-25 campaign.

Impact Sharpe was impressive off the bench, missing just one shot from the field and ending as one of the top scoring weapons despite coming off the bench. Sharpe has looked good in the preseason, and he is firmly entrenched in the role of backup center behind Nic Claxton.

OCTOBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Done for night Sharpe (ankle) won't return to Monday's preseason game against the Lakers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sharpe has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain suffered during the first half of Monday's exhibition, so he'll be shut down for the rest of the night. His availability for the remainder of the preseason will be worth monitoring, as the Nets may shut him down to ensure he's healthy for the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

OCTOBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up ankle injury Sharpe is questionable to return to Monday's preseason game against the Lakers due to a left ankle injury.

Impact The severity of Sharpe's injury is unclear at this time. Noah Clowney and Harry Giles could see additional opportunities the rest of the way if Sharpe is unable to return.

OCTOBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Sharpe will return to a reserve role in Saturday's Game 1 tilt against the 76ers.

Impact The Nets rested most of their usual starters in their regular-season finale, which resulted in Sharpe getting a rare spot-start. He is now set to return to his usual role providing depth in the team's frontcourt.

Near double-double off bench Sharpe accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 victory over Miami.

Impact Sharpe needed just 14 minutes to nearly post his second double-double over his past three matchups. The second-year big man has carved out a role as the primary backup center behind Nic Claxton and has appeared in four straight games, posting 10.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.0 assists and 0.8 assists in 14.0 minutes during that stretch.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fills stat sheet in loss Sharpe totaled 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact With a handful of Brooklyn's regulars sidelined for the first half of a back-to-back set and head coach Jacque Vaughn opting to bench his starters following a slow start Thursday, the former UNC star saw action for the first time since March 1. Sharpe struggled from the field and needed 13 shots to score 11 points, but he still posted a decent stat line with contributions across the five major categories. He's not receiving consistent minutes, meaning this performance was likely an outlier rather than a sign of things to come.

Impact Sharpe saw a spot start Thursday and produced eight points and 12 rebounds in 28 minutes but will return to the bench with Nic Claxton (hamstring) active.

Starting Thursday Sharpe will join the first unit for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Surprisingly, Sharpe will receive the starting nod at center despite Ben Simmons being available for the contest. It will be the 22-year-old's second start of the season, and although he posted a double-double in 32 minutes in his first start, it's unlikely Sharpe replicates that performance Thursday.

Available Thursday Sharpe (foot) is available Thursday against Chicago, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sharpe dealt with a sore right foot ahead of Thursday's matchup but will be able to suit up against the Bulls. He's averaged 4.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game over his last six appearances, but his role could fluctuate slightly after T.J. Warren was traded to the Suns on Thursday.

Impact It's unclear when Sharpe suffered his injury, but it puts his status Thursday into question. If he's unable to suit up against Chicago, his next chance will be Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.
