The Portland Trail Blazers have announced that guard Shaedon Sharpe will be sidelined for at least six months following surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee. The injury occurred during a workout last week, and Sharpe underwent the procedure on Monday in Los Angeles. Prior to this setback, the 23-year-old shooting guard had averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 50 games last season with the Blazers.
However, he missed time earlier in the season due to a stress reaction in his left fibula. Sharpe, who was selected seventh overall in the 2022 draft, has averaged 15.7 points, four rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game over his four-year tenure with Portland. In October, he signed a four-year, $90 million contract extension. The team stated that Sharpe will be reevaluated in six months.
