Coming off a career-best scoring season, Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe is expected to miss six months after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee, ESPN reported Monday.

Sharpe, 23, averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 2025-26, helping Portland to its first postseason appearance since 2021 despite missing 32 games with a stress fracture of his left fibula.

The report said Sharpe's injury occurred during a recent workout session. Entering his fifth season, Portland's first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in the 2022 NBA Draft has averaged 15.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 234 games (134 starts).

Sharpe is set to earn approximately $20 million this season in the first year of a four-year, $90 million extension he signed last year.

Despite Sharpe's injury, the Trail Blazers are not lacking for talent at the guard position with veterans Damian Lillard, Ja Morant and Jrue Holiday manning the position along with fourth-year player Scoot Henderson.
