"I'm very happy with what I've seen from Day'Ron, the hard work he put in and how much better he's gotten. Obviously, we wouldn't want to see that, but we know it's fixable. And we'll go and do surgery, then we'll have a timetable."
"On a per-36 basis, he landed in rare company. The list of players averaging at least 16 points, 12 rebounds and four assists per 36 minutes on 55% shooting or better this season includes Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic and Sharpe."
"He's also been Brooklyn's biggest swing player. Sharpe has posted a plus-7.0 net rating this season, the highest on the Nets and the sixth-highest among 35 centers who have played over 1,000 minutes. He's been that valuable."
Day'Ron Sharpe, the Brooklyn Nets' reserve center, suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb requiring surgery and will miss the rest of the regular season. Sharpe had emerged as a crucial contributor, appearing in 62 games with career-high averages of 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while shooting 60.1% from the floor. His per-36-minute statistics placed him among elite company alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic. Sharpe posted a plus-7.0 net rating, the highest on the Nets and sixth-best among centers playing over 1,000 minutes. Head coach Jordi Fernández acknowledged the injury's impact while expressing confidence in recovery. Josh Minott stepped into an expanded role following Sharpe's absence.
