Sharpe (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Sharpe will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to right knee soreness. With Sharpe and Scoot Henderson (concussion) sidelined, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert should get an extended run in Sunday's regular-season finale. With Portland eliminated from playoff contention, Sharpe will end his third season in Portland averaging 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals over 31.3 minutes per game in 72 outings (52 starts).

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Sharpe (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
A decision on Sharpe's status will be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. His absence would deprive the Blazers of one of their few reliable offensive weapons, especially in a scenario where Deni Avdija (thumb) is doubtful and Anfernee Simons (forearm) is out. If Sharpe isn't cleared to play, expect Matisse Thybulle to see more minutes in the lineup once again.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Sharpe is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness.
It's unclear whether Sharpe picked up the injury during his last appearance Wednesday against Utah, though his status will be worth monitoring leading up to Friday's tipoff. He hasn't missed a game since Nov. 4 against the Pelicans.
Sharpe registered 21 points (5-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 victory over San Antonio.
This was one of Sharpe's best performances of the season. This was his fourth game of the campaign with at least six assists, and his third game with double-digit rebounds. The Trail Blazers have been extremely shorthanded lately, so the high usage could continue to be a trend for Sharpe with three games remaining in the regular season.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Pours in 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe produced 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and seven rebounds over 31 minutes during Thursday's 128-107 loss to the Kings.
The 21-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Deni Avdija (24 points), albeit in a losing effort. Sharpe has been a mainstay in the starting five of late due to Jerami Grant (knee) being sidelined, and the former has logged at least 15 points in eight straight outings. In that eight-game span, Sharpe has averaged 19.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals across 34.9 minutes per game.
Sharpe racked up nine points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 130-120 loss to the Warriors.
Sharpe just narrowly missed out on what would've been his first career triple-double. He's been on an impressive run for Portland over his last 10 games, posting averages of 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 three-pointers. More shots could continue to fall into his lap as well if Jerami Grant (knee) misses additional time.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Promoted to starting role
Rotowire
Sharpe is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Career-best day against Washington
Rotowire
Sharpe recorded 36 points (13-26 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 victory over the Wizards.
Sharpe was the only Trail Blazer to exceed 16 points, shooting 50 percent from the field en route to a career-high 36 points. He capitalized on an expanded role, starting the second half in place of the injured Deni Avdija (quad). The outing marked his fourth career 30-point game. If Avdija is forced to miss time, Sharpe should continue to see more action.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Notches 17 points
Rotowire
Sharpe closed Tuesday's 125-112 win over the Bucks with 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes.
Sharpe had been ice cold prior to Tuesday, so this performance was a step in the right direction. Over his last five games, Sharpe has hit 36.8 percent from the field to go with averages of 11.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 26.7 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Solid with 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe racked up 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 loss to Dallas.
Although Portland's defense gave away the win, Sharpe was effective with a team-high 22 points. Sharpe has failed to reach double-digit scoring only twice this season, and he extended a 20-plus point streak to three games in the defeat. The third-year pro is on pace to beat most of his previous seasonal averages, and his current average of 18.1 points over 29 games is 2.2 points higher than his 2023-24 result.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Scores 19 points in defeat
Rotowire
Sharpe closed Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Lakers with 19 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 37 minutes.
The 21-year-old tied Deni Avdija for the second-highest scoring total on the Trail Blazers behind Anfernee Simons (23 points), albeit in a losing effort. Sharpe has been a fairly productive scorer through 25 regular-season appearances, though he has struggled from three-point range over his last 10 outings, during which he has shot 30.2 percent from downtown. In that 10-game span, the young guard has averaged 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 32.3 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Hits for 27 in victory
Rotowire
Sharpe finished with 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 victory over Denver.
Sharpe achieved his high total despite converting only two of his eight three-point attempts. He utilized excellent mid-range shooting and a near-perfect night at the charity stripe to reach his third-highest scoring result of the season. He also matched a season high with six rebounds in the victory.
Sharpe ended Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers with 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes.
Even though the Trail Blazers suffered another loss, Sharpe bounced back admirably after a 10-point effort in the blowout loss to the Jazz on Friday. The former Kentucky alum has been one of the most consistent scoring weapons for a struggling Blazers team this season. He's averaging 18.5 points per game across 14 starts, though he could use an uptick in efficiency since he's making just 42.9 percent of his shots, including a meager 29.7 percent from deep.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Scores 13 points in loss Friday
Rotowire
Sharpe notched 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Friday's 116-88 loss to the Rockets.
The Trail Blazers looked outmatched from start to finish in this matchup, and while Sharpe did what he could to provide an offensive boost, he struggled to get into a rhythm. Even though the 13 points were a team-high mark, this is not the kind of production fantasy managers want from the 21-year-old guard. However, he had cracked the 20-point mark in his previous three contests, so there's a chance this was nothing more than an off night.

Sharpe (shoulder) is available to play in Thursday's game versus the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Sharpe is expected to make his season debut off the bench, and he hasn't played in a regular-season matchup since Jan. 11 due to injuries to his abdomen and shoulder. The 21-year-old is expected to work his way back to regular playing time slowly, though he could eventually make a case to replace Toumani Camara as the club's starting two-guard.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Team option exercised
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers exercised their fourth-year team option on Sharpe (shoulder) on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Sharpe suffered a small posterior labral tear in his left shoulder that is expected to keep him sidelined a few weeks into the regular season. Still, his option being picked up indicates Portland views him in its plans going forward. When healthy, he is expected to provide depth on the wing this season.
