    The Portland Trail Blazers today announced that guard Shaedon Sharpe sustained a volar avulsion fracture to his right fifth finger during Tuesday’s matchup at Charlotte. Sharpe’s return to play will be determined on a game-by-game basis, and he will be listed as questionable for Saturday’s game at Dallas.

    It's a fracture, but at the same time he's game to game? Seems like an odd injury. Not too concerned.

    Yet he is still just "questionable" for the game tomorrow. That does not seem too serious.

    Sucks that it's his shooting hand, but could be fixed without surgery with just a splint in a few weeks.

    AD had the same injury and missed 9 games and about 2-3 weeks in 2019.

    Good opportunity for Nas to continue to get more minutes. He has been playing well.

    Chris Paul missed 4 weeks with an avulsion fracture in his right thumb last year.

    Fractures among the elderly require longer recovery times.

    Gordon Hayward had an avulsion fracture in his right pinky as well in a preseason game in 2020 and still played in their season opener 10 days later.

    Doesn't seem major depending on Sharpe's pain tolerance.

    I'm a terrrible monotreme for thinking "Y'know what's Sharp(e)? Broken glass." But the thought entered, and thus must be shared.

    Also thumb is half your hand, more critical than pinky finger in terms of functionality

    It's my fault. When I saw his monster dunk a couple games back, I thought.....easy! Don't break a finger or something.......damnit!

    He was reported to play nxt Tue at home vs Spurs at earliest. Sharpe's injury makes room for him to join the fun
