Sharpe (thumb) will sign a two-year, $20 million deal with the Nets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Nets will quickly lock up their new starting center after previously trading away Nic Claxton. Sharpe is coming off a career-best season in 2025-26, posting regular-season averages of 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals. He could offer a lot of appeal in fantasy formats depending on how the rest of the offseason shapes up.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Primed for top center role
Rotowire
Sharpe (thumb) is set to function as Brooklyn's starting center in 2026-27 following the trade of Nic Claxton (finger).
The Nets acquired Julius Randle in the exchange, but there's still a clear void at the center position now that Claxton is gone. Brooklyn still has time to reinforce its frontcourt depth via free agency, but for now it appears Sharpe's primary impediment to the top spot at center is Danny Wolf (ankle). Sharpe, a clear winner initially of Brooklyn's early offseason moves from a fantasy perspective, has made nine appearances as a starter since 2024-25, averaging 12.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game during that period.
Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Slated for season-ending surgery
Rotowire
Sharpe has been diagnosed with an ulnar collateral ligament tear in his left thumb and will require season-ending surgery, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
This is a tough blow for Sharpe, who was in the process of putting together one of the best campaigns of his young NBA career. He averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 62 games. Both Danny Wolf and Josh Minott should be in the mix for backup center minutes with Sharpe sidelined.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Sharpe won't play in Tuesday's game against Detroit due to a left thumb sprain, per Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
Sharpe is sitting out for the first time since the Jan. 19 loss to the Suns. Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji should both see more playing time in the frontcourt in the absence of Sharpe on Tuesday.
Sharpe isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Heat, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Sharpe drew a spot start at center Sunday with Nic Claxton (thumb) out of commission, but that'll change Tuesday with Claxton returning to play. Sharpe will return to a bench role and hasn't logged more than 19 minutes in his previous four appearances as a reserve, presumably limiting his upside in Miami.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Starting at center
Rotowire
Sharpe will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Sharpe is set to make his seventh start of the season due to Nic Claxton (thumb) being out. Sharpe remains a double-double threat even in limited action, evidenced by his 14-point, 11-rebound performance in just 19 minutes against the Spurs last Thursday. With Claxton sidelined, Sharpe should be even more productive.
