Shaedon Sharpe Out Friday with Calf Strain, Misses Fifth Game

Shaedon Sharpe will not play in Friday's game against the Nuggets due to a strained left calf, marking his fifth consecutive absence. The Portland Trail Blazers are taking a cautious approach with the guard following the All-Star break. His next opportunity to return to action will be Sunday when the Trail Blazers face the Suns in Phoenix. Vit Krejci and Caleb Love may see increased minutes.
