Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe will miss another four-to-six weeks at least as he continues to receive treatment for a left calf strain, the team announced Tuesday.
Sharpe also underwent follow-up imaging, which revealed a stress reaction in his left fibula.
The 22-year-old suffered the calf injury Feb. 6 against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played 14 minutes before being ruled out at halftime.
Sharpe was enjoying a breakout campaign prior to being sidelined. He's averaging career highs in points (21.4) and steals (1.4) to go along with 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 48 appearances.
Portland inked Sharpe to a four-year, $90-million contract extension in October.
