Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe to miss at least 4–6 weeks with fibula issue

Shaedon Sharpe will miss at least four to six weeks after a diagnosis of a stress reaction in his left fibula, the portland trail blazers said Tuesday; follow-up imaging also explained a recent left calf strain and will guide a progressive return-to-play plan.

Portland Trail Blazers confirm Sharpe diagnosis

The team said follow-up imaging revealed a stress reaction of the left fibula and that Sharpe will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks to allow for healing before beginning a progressive return to full basketball activity. Sharpe had already missed six games because of a left calf strain. Separate recent coverage identified the injury as a stress fracture in the same area; the team’s stated timeline is a four-to-six-week window before re-evaluation.

Impact for portland trail blazers rotation

Sharpe ranks second on the roster this season with an average of 21. 4 points; he also averages 4. 4 rebounds and 2. 6 assists. He has not played since February 6 after first being listed with a left calf strain. The calf injury occurred earlier this month in the first half of a 135-115 victory that snapped a six-game losing streak, and follow-up imaging of that injury revealed the fibula problem.

Outlook and next steps

The immediate plan is medical rest and monitoring, with a planned recheck in roughly four to six weeks. The team framed the window as time to heal before starting a progressive return to full basketball activity. Given the timeline provided by the team, it seems likely that Sharpe could miss the remainder of the season, though that outcome is not publicly confirmed and will depend on the results of the follow-up evaluation.

From a roster perspective, the injury removes a primary scorer while the club evaluates rotation adjustments. Sharpe’s current averages and role make his absence notable for on-court production, and the organization will use the re-evaluation point to determine when a gradual ramp-up toward game action can begin. The team’s next update should clarify whether the four-to-six-week timeline is holding or if longer recovery will be needed.
