## Summary

Day’Ron Sharpe is adjusting well to a bigger role for Brooklyn, moving from a reserve centre to a regular starter. His impact has made him a rare bright spot for the Nets, who have been 16.7 points per 100 possessions better with him on court, the fourth-best net-rating swing among qualified centres.

Across his last six games, Sharpe has averaged 9.5 points, seven rebounds and 6.5 assists, with just 2.2 turnovers per game. He has recorded at least five assists in four consecutive games, a franchise record for a Nets centre, and added 10 blocks over his last five outings; coach Jordi Fernández praised his conditioning, work habits and contributions at both ends. Nolan Traore and Mikel Brown Jr. were listed as questionable for the game in Memphis, while Ben Saraf and three others remained on G-League assignment.
