Trail Blazers Injury Update: Sharpe to Miss at Least 4-6 Weeks with Stress Reaction in Left Leg
Sharpe, averaging 21.4 points per game, faces a 4-6 week recovery from a fibula stress reaction discovered during follow-up imaging, the team said.
- The team announced Tuesday that Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe will remain sidelined after imaging showed a stress reaction in his left fibula and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks.
- While rehabbing a left calf strain, doctors discovered a stress reaction in Sharpe's lower leg; he has not played since Feb. 7 after injuring his calf in the 135-115 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
- Sharpe, 22, has started 42 games and ranks second on the team, averaging 21.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while shooting 45.6% FG and 34% 3PT.
- Portland has been among the hardest-hit teams with 317 absences, as Scoot Henderson , Jrue Holiday , Sharpe and Deni Avdija miss extended time.
- Because a stress reaction signals bone overuse, it is treated cautiously to prevent fracture risk, and with the season ending April 12, this could affect Sharpe's availability.
