Shaedon Sharpe Has Successful Right Meniscus Surgery; Rehab Starts, Reevaluation in 6 Months
The guard will begin rehabilitation immediately after a successful meniscus repair, and the Trail Blazers said he will be reevaluated in about six months.
- On Thursday, the Portland Trail Blazers announced that 23-year-old guard Shaedon Sharpe underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee. He will be reevaluated in six months.
- Sharpe sustained the injury during an off-season workout last week, interrupting his development after a career-best 2025-26 season. He previously missed time with a stress fracture in his left fibula.
- Entering his fifth season, the 6-foot-5 shooter signed a four-year, $90 million extension last October and averaged a career-high 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists over 50 games last season.
- New head coach Micah Nori must adjust rotations to accommodate the absence, relying on veteran depth including Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Scoot Henderson to step up scoring.
- Sharpe will be reevaluated on February 27, 2027, just past the All-Star break, with a potential return for the season's final 22 games remaining uncertain. The team prioritizes long-term recovery over rushed rehabilitation.
