Rotowire
Sharpe (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.
Sharpe suffered a left hamstring strain in early October during training camp. He was ruled out for at least six weeks due to the injury, so Sharpe could be close to making his 2024-25 regular-season debut. His next chance to do so will be Friday against the 76ers.

Rotowire
Sharpe will miss at least six weeks with a left hamstring strain, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Sharpe had been poised to enter the season as the top backup to starting center Nic Claxton, but his hamstring injury will likely keep him out until at least the second half of November.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Muted role Friday
Rotowire
Sharpe supplied two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds across six minutes during Friday's 125-108 win over the Bulls.
Sharpe played just six minutes off the bench, the fewest he has played when healthy since the second game of the regular season. Despite having a fantasy-friendly game, Sharpe simply doesn't see enough playing time to warrant serious attention. He is someone to watch heading into next season, should the Nets opt to play him more often.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Huge night on glass
Rotowire
Sharpe finished with eight points (4-11 FG), 17 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 24 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 104-91 loss to the Pelicans.
The 17 boards were a career high for Sharpe, topping the 15 he pulled down against the Knicks on Dec. 20. The third-year center has only 20 rebounds over the prior five games combined, and he hasn't recorded a double-double since Jan. 3. Tuesday was also the first time in March that Sharpe played 20-plus minutes in a game, and without a more consistent role in the Brooklyn rotation, he's tough to roster in almost any format.

This was Sharpe's largest workload in March, and he reached double figures for the first time since Feb. 29. Sharpe is a strong per-minute player in fantasy basketball, but he's averaged just 14.6 minutes through seven March appearances.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Suffers wrist injury Monday
Rotowire
Sharpe had his wrist evaluated by the training staff after taking a hard fall during Monday's 106-102 loss to Memphis, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. He finished with four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes.
Sharpe's status will need to be monitored as Brooklyn closes a back-to-back set Tuesday against Philadelphia. Interim head coach Kevin Ollie noted postgame that he had "no update" on Sharpe's expected availability for Tuesday, per Barnes. Nic Claxton took on the lion's share of the workload at center Monday, delivering 21 points (8-10 FG) and six rebounds in 33 minutes.
