HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that the Nets and Day’Ron Sharpe have agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal.
Sharpe is coming off the most productive season of his NBA career, as he averaged highs in points (8.7), rebounds (6.7), assists (2.3) and steals (1.1). Used mainly as a reserve in his first five seasons, making 21 starts in 253 total appearances, the 6-foot-9 center may be the Nets’ starting center next season. Nic Claxton was traded to the Bulls as part of a three-team deal that sent Julius Randle to Brooklyn. While the Nets could also add a veteran in free agency or shift Noah Clowney into that role, Sharpe’s opportunities will increase in 2026-27. If he’s allowed to start, he’ll be worth taking a flier on in drafts.
