Overview
- After exiting the Knicks game with reported left hamstring tightness, further evaluation showed Sharpe has a left glute contusion and is day-to-day, according to coach Jordi Fernández.
- Sharpe was downgraded from questionable to out for Tuesday’s home matchup against the Raptors.
- To address short-term frontcourt depth, the Nets recalled rookie big man Danny Wolf from the Long Island Nets; Ben Saraf was also brought back while Nolan Traore remained in the G League.
- With only Nic Claxton as an experienced center, Noah Clowney absorbed most of the reserve frontcourt minutes against Toronto as Wolf saw brief action under a stated next-man-up approach.
- Sharpe, who signed a two-year deal this offseason, is averaging 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds, and his history of a prior left hamstring strain underscores relief that the current issue is not hamstring-related.
