Brooklyn Nets center Day’Ron Sharpe, after being injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to Portland, has been diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee. An MRI on Monday confirmed the injury and he will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks. Sharpe, who has been a consistent presence for the Nets playing in every game this season with Mikal Bridges, will not be traveling with the team to Paris tonight and his absence will leave the Nets with a depleted center lineup. The team will have to adapt by relying on small-ball lineups until his return. Sharpe's condition was initially suspected to be a left knee sprain, and he made a brief appearance at the end of Sunday’s Nets practice in Brooklyn.
