Shaedon Sharpe sidelined at NBA Summer League with shoulder injury

Shaedon Sharpe’s first live-action basketball game since the fall didn’t even last six minutes.

The former Kentucky Wildcat turned No. 7 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers made his NBA Summer League debut right as the clock tipped over into Friday early this morning. Sharpe took the floor as a starter but played just 5:33 of the first quarter before appearing to tweak his arm while defending in the halfcourt.

He was quickly taken out of the game and was later ruled out by the Blazers with what was labeled as a left shoulder injury.
