Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left fibula, the team announced Tuesday. The 22-year-old shooting guard had already missed the previous six games with a left calf strain before follow-up imaging revealed the more serious stress reaction.

Sharpe, who ranks second on the team with 21.4 points per game, suffered the initial calf injury during the Blazers' 135-115 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies earlier this month. The injury timeline means Sharpe could miss approximately 10-15 games, dealing a significant blow to Portland's offensive production. He's been a key contributor in his fourth NBA season, averaging 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists alongside his scoring.

The Blazers will use this recovery period to assess their rotation and potentially explore trade options before the deadline. Sharpe's absence creates opportunities for other guards to step up, though replacing his scoring punch will be challenging. The team emphasized that the four-to-six week timeline allows for proper healing before beginning a progressive return to full basketball activity.
