Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Won't play in season finale Sunday
Rotowire
Sharpe (wrist) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Sharpe ends the regular season having missed three of Brooklyn's last six games, and while he had some ups and downs throughout the campaign, he ended up scoring in double digits in 15 different appearances despite playing mostly off the bench. The third-year big man averaged 6.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 15.1 minutes per game this season, with each of those figures representing career-high marks for him.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Officially ruled out
Rotowire
Sharpe (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Sharpe was downgraded from questionable to doubtful in the hours leading up to Friday's tipoff, so it isn't very surprising to see him ruled out. Trendon Watford could see additional playing time against the Knicks, while Sharpe's final chance to play during the regular season will be Sunday against Philadelphia.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire

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.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Plays well in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe finished Sunday's 122-115 overtime loss to the Spurs with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes.
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: Good to go
Rotowire
Sharpe (wrist) is available for Saturday's game in Charlotte, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Sharpe was given a probable designation on Brooklyn's initial injury report, so this progress is not surprising. He is returning from a two-game absence stemming from a wrist injury. The 22-year-old has averaged 6.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.3 triples across 14.0 minutes over his last nine games.

Sharpe (wrist) won't play in Thursday's game versus the 76ers.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Will not play Tuesday
Rotowire
Sharpe (wrist) will not play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Sharpe suffered a right wrist injury Monday against the Grizzlies, but the Nets are calling it a contusion. That suggests that he will likely be day-to-day moving forward, and the Nets are being cautious on the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Sharpe out, Nic Claxton could see a heavy workload and Noah Clowney may see some rare minutes after being recalled from the G League.

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.
Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Impressive off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Sharpe amassed 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Thursday's 124-97 victory over the Hawks.
Sharpe played fewer minutes than Nic Claxton and Dorian Finney-Smith, but he outplayed them both with an efficient outing -- he missed only two shots from the field while ending two boards shy of a double-double. Sharpe can get the job done on both ends of the court when given enough minutes, but his fantasy upside will remain limited if he continues to play off the bench.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Eight points, eight boards in win
Rotowire
Sharpe produced eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 111-86 win over the Grizzlies.
Sharpe is the league's second-most impactful rebounder on a per-minute basis this season, trailing only Andre Drummond. Sharpe is averaging a modest 7.0 points and 6.7 rebounds with no defensive playmaking across three contests since the All-Star break, but his categorical dominance makes him worth monitoring down the stretch.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Strong per-minute producer in return
Rotowire
Sharpe (knee) tallied six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across nine minutes in Tuesday's 118-110 loss to the Celtics.
In his return from a 15-game absence due to a hyperextended left knee, Sharpe was a plus-3 during his time on the court and produced quality numbers, but he may not have a pathway to consistently see 15-plus minutes off the bench while the Nets have all of their key frontcourt options available. However, Sharpe is off the injury report for Wednesday's rematch with Boston and could face less of a challenge for the backup minutes behind starting center Nic Claxton, as Ben Simmons (knee) is resting for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Says he'll play Tuesday
Rotowire
Sharpe (knee) said Monday that he'll play in Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Sharpe has missed over a month due to a left knee injury, but he'll be able to return to action in the first half of a back-to-back set Tuesday. He averaged 7.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game prior to his injury, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him face some restrictions Tuesday following his lengthy absence.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Still out indefinitely
Rotowire
Sharpe (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Sharpe hyperextended his left knee Jan. 7 and hasn't played since. He doesn't have a return timetable and hasn't been cleared for full-contract drills, so he can be considered week-to-week.
