Sharpe Out Blazers Rebuild Backcourt | Portland Trail Blazers News

Portland Trail Blazers’ season just took a major hit as star rookie Shaedon Sharpe tore his meniscus, sidelining him for roughly six months and pushing his return to late February. Coming off his breakout year averaging over 20 points, his absence leaves a massive scoring void and forces the team to reconfigure their crowded guard rotation — now featuring Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Scoot Henderson. With Sharpe out, the pressure mounts on the veterans: Morant must reclaim his explosive form, Lillard needs to prove he’s still a top scorer after recovering from Achilles surgery, and Henderson must carve out a starring role — possibly at shooting guard. The Blazers have depth, but replacing Sharpe’s impact is the real test. How they navigate this reshuffled backcourt could reshape the rest of the season — and maybe even influence future trades.
