Nets Rule Day’Ron Sharpe Out With Glute Contusion for Raptors Game, Recall Rookie Danny Wolf

Brooklyn now lists a left glute contusion with a day-to-day timeline.

Overview

  • Sharpe left Sunday’s 134-98 loss to the Knicks with what was first described as left hamstring tightness, then was ruled out Tuesday with a left glute contusion.
  • Head coach Jordi Fernández said the team is not concerned and labeled Sharpe day-to-day.
  • The 24-year-old backup center logged 10 points and six rebounds in 12 minutes against New York and has averaged 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds this season after re-signing on a two-year deal.
  • Brooklyn recalled rookie big man Danny Wolf from the G League to bolster depth behind starter Nic Claxton after Sharpe’s scratch.
  • The Nets remain short on frontcourt experience while also missing scorer Cam Thomas with a separate hamstring strain, a combination that has exposed rim protection issues.
