The Portland Trail Blazers have played their last six games without the services of guard Shayden Sharp, and it looks like he'll be missing more games — possibly even the rest of the 2025-26 NBA season — due to a lower-body injury.
The Blazers provided an update on the former 22-year-old Sharp via a social media post on Twitter on Tuesday.
"Trail Blazers guard Shadden Sharp continues to be treated for a left calf strain. Follow-up imaging revealed a stress reaction of the left fibula. Sharp will be reevaluated in approximately four to six weeks to allow adequate healing before beginning a progressive return to full basketball activity," the update said.
Considering the timeline, there's a real possibility that Sharp won't suit up for another game for Portland this season. The Trail Blazers will have played 15 games in four weeks by the latest injury update on Sharp and seven more games in the sixth week of the timeline. Simply put, the outlook on Sharp is not great this season, as the Trail Blazers look to continue to contend for a spot in the NBA playoffs.
Sharpe last played against the Memphis Grizzlies at the Moda Center in Portland on February 6, where he suffered an injury. He left that contest in the second quarter and did not return.
The injury is a major blow for the Trail Blazers, as Sharp is one of the team's most important players. He is second on the team in scoring so far this season, averaging 21.4 points per game, along with 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest, while shooting 45.6 percent from the floor and 34.0 percent from behind the arc.
The update on Sharp, who was selected seventh in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft by the Trail Blazers, further adds to Portland's headache on the injury front, as it is also without NBA All-Star Danny Avdija at the moment due to a back injury.
That means the Trail Blazers will be without their top two scorers when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.
