The Portland Trail Blazers have upgraded Shaedon Sharpe’s status to questionable ahead of their game against the San Antonio Spurs. Sharpe has been sidelined with a right calf strain and missed the last four games.
Sharpe’s potential return is significant as the Blazers face a depleted backcourt. Five of their guards, including Jrue Holiday and Damian Lillard, are currently unavailable due to various injuries.
The injured players include:
1. Jrue Holiday (right calf strain)
2. Scoot Henderson (left hamstring tear)
3. Blake Wesley (right foot fracture)
4. Matisse Thybulle (left thumb ligament tear)
5. Damian Lillard (left Achilles tear)
With these absences, Portland has relied heavily on two-way players Caleb Love and Sidy Cissoko for extended minutes. Sharpe’s presence would provide much-needed depth and energy at guard for the home team.
Portland aims to secure a spot in the NBA Cup knockout rounds by winning Wednesday’s game at the Moda Center. The contest is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. Pacific.
No other players beyond the five inactive guards and Sharpe appear on the injury report for the Blazers. This means the team could be close to full strength if Sharpe manages to play.
Coach and fans will watch Sharpe’s pregame status closely, as his return would boost Portland’s chances. After a tough injury run, the Blazers are hopeful their lineup can handle the Spurs’ challenge.
