Sharpe had 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 loss to the Celtics.
Sharpe reminded everyone just what he is capable of, turning in his best all-around performance of the season. He continues to sit behind Nic Claxton in the rotation, resulting in a backup role, typically yielding minutes in the mid-teens. Despite this effort, there is no indication his playing time will increase moving forward, making him a viable streaming option at best.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Set for testing on hamstring
Rotowire
Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said after Sunday's 134-98 loss to the Knicks that Sharpe would undergo testing on his left hamstring Monday to determine the severity of the injury, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Sharpe contributed 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 12 minutes before exiting Sunday's contest with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. Though an official timeline for Sharpe's return won't be provided until his tests are completed, the Nets already seem to be bracing for him to miss at least their next game Tuesday versus the Raptors. Brooklyn recalled Danny Wolf from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, and the rookie first-round pick will be a candidate to enter the rotation as starting center Nic Claxton's top backup if Sharpe can't play Tuesday.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Pulls down seven rebounds in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 125-109 loss to Minnesota.
Sharpe's role as the backup center behind Nic Claxton has been consistent, but the number of field goals he attempts varies widely from game to game. While Sharpe has been efficient from the field when he does take a shot, averaging 69.2 percent from the field, he only attempts 3.7 field goals per game for an average of 6.4 points, which is heavily inflated by 17- and 14-point performances earlier in the season.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Spark off bench in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe provided 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to the Hornets.
Sharpe stepped up off the bench and delivered when called upon, scoring an efficient 14 points -- a mark he reached or surpassed just four times in 50 regular-season games last year. Though he's firmly behind Nic Claxton on the depth chart, his strong showing on opening night proved that he can still fill up the stat sheet and make an impact in limited minutes.

Head coach Jordi Fernandez said Monday that Sharpe has been limited to stationary work and will have his right knee assessed this week, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Sharpe has not played in Brooklyn's last three games due to a right knee sprain, and based on Fernandez's comments Monday, it appears Sharpe still has a ways to go before returning to practice, let alone to games.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Quiet in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe racked up two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Saturday's 108-103 loss to the Pacers.
Sharpe was a non-factor in the loss, arguably his worst overall performance of the season. Despite his per-minute upside, Sharpe has been unable to move up in the rotation, playing as the primary backup behind Nic Claxton. With Claxton having been relatively healthy for most of the season, Sharpe's role has plateaued at around 18.0 minutes per game. In that time, he is averaging 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 combined steals and blocks.
