Shaedon

Sharpe

Sharpe has missed Portland’s last seven games with a strained left calf, and that isn’t the only injury that he’s dealing with. The Trail Blazers announced on Tuesday that further imaging has revealed a stress reaction of his left fibula. Given the timeline, fantasy managers would be well-served to move on from Sharpe, as he’s unlikely to be much help during the fantasy playoff weeks due to the re-evaluation timeline and a potential minutes limit once he’s cleared to play.

Sharpe is set to miss his seventh consecutive game with strained left calf. Sidy Cissoko and Scoot Henderson figure to start with Deni Avdija (back) also out.

Sharpe will miss a sixth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a strained left calf. The recent returns of Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray have boosted Portland’s wing depth, but neither is at a point where they can affect fantasy basketball. Regarding the starting lineup, Sidy Cissoko may be the fifth starter if Deni Avdija (back; questionable) plays.

Even with the All-Star break, Sharpe isn’t over his calf injury. The 22-year-old shooting guard is set to miss his fifth consecutive game Friday against the Nuggets. Jerami Grant should see increased usage and Scoot Henderson could see additional minutes too.

Sharpe will sit out a fourth straight game, and with Deni Avdija banged up, Jerami Grant could be in line for increased run. Scoot Henderson is available and could take on additional minutes as well.

Injured during Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, Sharpe will miss a third consecutive game with a strained calf. With Deni Avdija recently returning to the lineup, Jerami Grant has effectively served as the fifth starter. He’ll remain in that role on Wednesday and is worth slotting into fantasy lineups.

Sharpe’s calf flared up during Friday’s game against the Grizzlies and he’s subsequently been ruled out for Saturday’s game with the same injury. His absence led to more minutes for Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejčí on Friday and it should play out similarly on Saturday.

Avdija did not play in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, but he did practice the day prior. If the Trail Blazers’ All-Star playmaker can return for Saturday’s rematch, he could slide into the spot that Shaedon Sharpe occupied. Sharpe is out after leaving Friday’s game with a sore left calf.

Sharpe finished the second quarter of Friday’s game but did not return for the third, with the Trail Blazers eventually declaring him done for the night with a left calf injury. His early exit has led to more minutes for Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejčí, with the latter knocking down two three-pointers and scoring 11 points.

Sharpe’s streak of games with at least 20 points ended at three, finishing one point away. More concerning for fantasy managers, especially those competing in category leagues, was the lack of production in categories outside of points and three-pointers. Sharpe has made some strides recently, which is why he’s been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Hopefully, he can get back to that in Portland’s final two games of Week 16.
