Shaedon Sharpe News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Questionable Saturday Sharpe (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game at Dallas, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Sharpe has been diagnosed with a volar avulsion fracture in his right fifth finger, but it's not considered severe enough to keep him out for an extended period. He'll be day-to-day, starting with a questionable designation this weekend.

Out Thursday Sharpe (finger) won't play Thursday against the Pelicans.

Impact Sharpe was initially considered probable, but he'll ultimately join a long list of Trail Blazers missing Thursday's contest against the Pelicans. The rookie guard recorded a career-high 17 points in Portland's most recent game. With Sharpe unavailable, more minutes are in line for Keon Johnson and Josh Hart.

Probable Thursday Sharpe is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a right finger sprain.

Impact Sharpe tallied a career-high 17 points during Wednesday's win over the Hornets, but he's dealing with a finger issue following the game. However, it seems likely that he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set.

Career-high 17 points Sharpe scored 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with four rebounds over 28 minutes in Wednesday's 105-95 win over the Hornets.

Impact Sharpe got off to a quick start, coming off the bench and knocking down three of four shots in the first quarter for seven points. He later knocked down his only two field-goal attempts in the fourth quarter for another four points to help the Trail Blazers extend their lead to eight, finishing the game with a career-high 17 points. Sharpe has now scored in double figures in seven of 11 games this season and continues to play a key role off the bench for the Trail Blazers.

Moves back to bench Sharpe notched five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 12 minutes during Monday's 110-107 victory over Miami.

Impact After a four-game run in the starting lineup, Sharpe shifted back to a reduced role off the bench with both Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons healthy. Sharpe has already demonstrated some encouraging flashes this season, but he's unlikely to do enough to warrant rostering in most standard leagues. In dynasty formats, however, he holds significantly more appeal.

Sputters in spot start Sharpe finished Saturday's 102-82 loss to the Suns with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 27 minutes.

Impact With Damian Lillard (calf) and Anfernee Simons (leg) sidelined, Portland's starting five looked markedly different, and the new scheme wasn't vey productive. Although Sharpe underperformed Saturday, the rookie has the potential to make a more consistent impact as long as Lillard remains out.

Looks good in starting role Sharpe recorded 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 29 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over the Rockets.

Impact Sharpe certainly didn't look out of place as he entered the starting lineup Friday, sliding in for the injured Damian Lillard (calf). While he didn't have a particularly well-rounded evening, he continues to flash his offensive upside. As long as he is logging significant minutes, he is worth a look across all formats.

Starting for injured Lillard Sharpe will start Friday's game against the Rockets, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Sharpe will draw his first start of the season with Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined for the Trail Blazers. Lillard will be re-evaluated in 1-to-2 weeks, so it's possible Sharpe remains in the starting lineup for several games. Over his first five appearances of the season, Sharpe has averaged 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Sharpe notched 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-98 loss to the Heat.

Impact The rookie had a strong showing off the bench in this one and ended just two boards shy of a double-double, but aside from that, this was his best scoring output of the campaign while also logging a season-high 21 minutes. With Damian Lillard (calf) expected to miss Friday's game against the Rockets, don't be surprised if Sharpe makes his way into the starting lineup alongside Anfernee Simons in the backcourt, which would probably lead to an increased workload -- and the potential for better numbers -- as well.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Carves out rotational role Sharpe has logged between 12 and 16 minutes in each of the Trail Blazers' first four games while averaging 6.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Impact Though Sharpe took a redshirt during his lone season at Kentucky and didn't play at the college level, the Trail Blazers recognized enough potential in the 6-foot-6 combo guard to invest a lottery pick into him in the draft in June. With Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons secure as Portland's two starters in the backcourt, Sharpe has opened his professional career as the team's first guard off the bench. He's done well with his limited opportunities to date, with his efficiency (62 percent true shooting) standing out the most thus far. The 19-year-old is unlikely to see a dramatic uptick in opportunities so long as Lillard and Simons are healthy, but the rookie has thus far looked like a promising asset in dynasty leagues.
