Shaedon Sharpe Progressing, Still Out Friday
3 months agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (abdomen) remains out for Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Portland announced on Wednesday that Sharpe was starting to ramp up and begin light on-court activities as he recovers from a lower abdominal strain, but the versatile swingman is not ready to suit up for game action. Sharpe has been sidelined since mid-January and sees his next opportunity to return against these same Nuggets on Sunday. Malcolm Brogdon has picked up the slack for the Blazers covering his latest eight appearances, averaging 20.0 points, 6.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.3 three-pointers since Jan. 17. Brogdon might be on the move by next Thursday's trade deadline, but he's getting plenty of run in Rip City and is a must-start in fantasy right now.
