Sharpe (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Sharpe will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to right knee soreness. With Sharpe and Scoot Henderson (concussion) sidelined, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert should get an extended run in Sunday's regular-season finale. With Portland eliminated from playoff contention, Sharpe will end his third season in Portland averaging 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals over 31.3 minutes per game in 72 outings (52 starts).

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Sharpe (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
A decision on Sharpe's status will be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. His absence would deprive the Blazers of one of their few reliable offensive weapons, especially in a scenario where Deni Avdija (thumb) is doubtful and Anfernee Simons (forearm) is out. If Sharpe isn't cleared to play, expect Matisse Thybulle to see more minutes in the lineup once again.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Sharpe is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness.
It's unclear whether Sharpe picked up the injury during his last appearance Wednesday against Utah, though his status will be worth monitoring leading up to Friday's tipoff. He hasn't missed a game since Nov. 4 against the Pelicans.
Sharpe recorded 37 points (13-23 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 5-10 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 133-126 overtime loss to Utah.
The Blazers suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Jazz on Wednesday, but there's no doubt Sharpe turned heads with his play and was among the top producers in Wednesday's 10-game slate. This is the sixth time Sharpe has surpassed the 30-point mark this season, though it's also the third time he has done it since the beginning of April. Sharpe is ending the season on a heater with averages of 28.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game in five April contests.
Sharpe registered 21 points (5-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 victory over San Antonio.
This was one of Sharpe's best performances of the season. This was his fourth game of the campaign with at least six assists, and his third game with double-digit rebounds. The Trail Blazers have been extremely shorthanded lately, so the high usage could continue to be a trend for Sharpe with three games remaining in the regular season.

Sharpe was dominant in the first half, scoring 11 and nine points in the first and second quarters, respectively, and he finished Thursday's contest tying a career high in points that he set Feb. 26.

Rotowire
Sharpe recorded 33 points (11-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 39 minutes in Tuesday's 127-113 win over Atlanta.
Sharpe provided a big lift offensively and on the glass in Tuesday's battle, leading all Portland players in scoring and free throws made while finishing as one of two players with a double-double in a winning effort. Sharpe has recorded a double-double twice this season, the other taking place March 3. Sharpe has now surpassed the 30-point mark in four appearances.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Pours in 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe produced 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and seven rebounds over 31 minutes during Thursday's 128-107 loss to the Kings.
The 21-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Deni Avdija (24 points), albeit in a losing effort. Sharpe has been a mainstay in the starting five of late due to Jerami Grant (knee) being sidelined, and the former has logged at least 15 points in eight straight outings. In that eight-game span, Sharpe has averaged 19.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals across 34.9 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Puts up 23 points in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe finished with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 129-116 loss to the Celtics.
The Trail Blazers looked surprisingly competitive in this matchup against the Celtics, and Sharpe was a big reason why Portland put up a fight. Sharpe has surpassed the 15-point mark in six games in a row, averaging 19.5 points and shooting 46.5 percent from the floor in that stretch.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Pops for 23 in Friday's win
Rotowire
Sharpe amassed 23 points (10-22 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 128-109 victory over the Nuggets.
The third-year guard continues to supply consistent production as part of the starting five. Sharpe has started 12 straight games and scored in double digits in 11 of them, averaging 18.5 points, 6.0 boards, 3.1 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch. If there's been one blemish on his starting stint, it's been his long-range accuracy. Sharpe is shooting just 26.5 percent from beyond the arc during those dozen contests.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Excels with 17-point effort
Rotowire
Sharpe notched 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 victory over the Grizzlies.
Sharpe was successful in bucking a negative trend during Wednesday's win. His production is directly tied to Deni Avdija, and Sharpe's numbers often suffer when Avdija blows up. Sharpe turned in a good line in the win despite Avdija's 31-point result. If the first unit can keep replicating this success, the playoff outlook will improve significantly, and Sharpe's sustained production will be essential down the stretch.
Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Pops for 21 in OT loss
Rotowire
Sharpe contributed 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime loss to the Knicks.
Making his eighth straight start, Sharpe nearly came away with his second double-double of the season -- he delivered the first one March 3 against the 76ers. The third-year guard is averaging 18.6 points, 6.3 boards, 3.4 assists and 1.9 threes during his starting stint, but it's not clear who will get bumped to the bench if the Blazers' frontcourt gets healthier, as Jerami Grant (knee) and Deni Avdija haven't been on the court together since Feb. 26.
Sharpe racked up nine points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 130-120 loss to the Warriors.
Sharpe just narrowly missed out on what would've been his first career triple-double. He's been on an impressive run for Portland over his last 10 games, posting averages of 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 three-pointers. More shots could continue to fall into his lap as well if Jerami Grant (knee) misses additional time.

Sharpe filled the stat sheet Monday, recording his first double-double of the season during his third consecutive start. Moreover, he set a new career-high mark in rebounds. The 21-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Anfernee Simons (34 points), and Sharpe logged 20-plus points for the 21st time this season. Additionally, the third-year swingman has scored 20 or more points in four of the club's last five outings.

Rotowire
Sharpe had 25 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block in 36 minutes during Friday's 121-102 victory over the Nets.
On the heels of dropping a career-high 36 points in Wednesday's win over Washington, Sharpe was rewarded with his first start since Jan. 18 and led the team in scoring Friday. The 2022 first-rounder has been effective as a scorer in a starting role, averaging 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.6 three-pointers in 33.4 minutes over his last eight appearances in Portland's first unit. If both Deni Avdija (quad) and Jerami Grant (knee) remain sidelined Sunday in Cleveland, Sharpe could remain in the starting lineup.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Promoted to starting role
Rotowire
Sharpe is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Career-best day against Washington
Rotowire
Sharpe recorded 36 points (13-26 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 victory over the Wizards.
Sharpe was the only Trail Blazer to exceed 16 points, shooting 50 percent from the field en route to a career-high 36 points. He capitalized on an expanded role, starting the second half in place of the injured Deni Avdija (quad). The outing marked his fourth career 30-point game. If Avdija is forced to miss time, Sharpe should continue to see more action.
