Nets already facing injury mess with Day’Ron Sharpe, Trendon Watford out for weeks
NY Post
SAN DIEGO — The Nets haven’t even hit their preseason opener before being hit with injuries.
Forward Trendon Watford and center Day’Ron Sharpe will each miss several weeks with left hamstring strains, after sustaining the injuries during training camp practices last week.
Neither made the trip with the Nets for the Southern California leg of training camp, left home in Brooklyn to be evaluated by the medical staff.
That evaluation revealed the strains, with both players having begun rehabilitation.
They’ll be sidelined from on-court activity. The Nets will update Watford’s status in two weeks, while Sharpe won’t be updated for six weeks.
The 22-year-old Sharpe is the only pure center on the Brooklyn roster after starter Nic Claxton, who will also miss the preseason opener Tuesday against the Clippers with a hamstring injury, although the Nets have claimed that is purely precautionary.
