The Portland Trail Blazers are running out of time to reach a rookie-scale extension with Shaedon Sharpe. If Portland doesn't extend Sharpe by Monday's 3 p.m. (PT) deadline, he will become a restricted free agent next summer.
According to Joe Freeman of The Oregonian/OregonLive, one team source said that an extension seems unlikely. However, ESPN's Tim Bontemps recently predicted that a deal would get done. In other words, no one really knows with 100% confidence what general manager Joe Cronin will do one way or the other.
