Brooklyn\u2019s Day\u2019Ron Sharpe is starting to look like his old self, playing his best basketball of the season right as the trade deadline approaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a contract year, Sharpe is facing the prospect of being dealt by 3 p.m. Thursday or looking at restricted free agency in the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t tend to think about it,\u201d Sharpe told The Post. \u201cI just go out there and play hard, you know? Whatever comes, comes with it, God willing. So it is what it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharpe shrugged off a hamstring injury that forced him out of the last win over Charlotte, practicing Friday and will be available Saturday in Houston. <\/p>\n
A number of teams are showing interest in landing the bruising big man before Thursday. <\/p>\n
Or at least in one case, reigniting old interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lakers are keeping an eye on Sharpe after Anthony Davis prodded them to add another big man. <\/p>\n
ClutchPoints reported that L.A. wanted Sharpe in the Dorian Finney-Smith trade, but the Nets demanded more draft picks in compensation, so the Lakers ended up settling for Shake Milton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nets GM Sean Marks and Los Angeles\u2019 Rob Pelinka could reengage before the Feb. 6 deadline on Sharpe, who is cheap, still just 23 years old and a strong rebounder. <\/p>\n
He likely suits the Lakers, but does he suit their stars?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Times has reported that Washington\u2019s Jonas Valanciunas is \u201ca known favorite in important pockets of the Lakers locker room.\u201d <\/p>\n
But he\u2019s an older back-to-the-basket scorer, one who\u2019ll cost both cap space and assets, and require the offense to run through him. <\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t exactly fit coach JJ Redick\u2019s style.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Sharpe is shooting a career-worst 48.2 percent, he did miss the first six weeks of the season with hamstring woes. <\/p>\n
When he finally got back on the court, he compromised and averaged just 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds on 42.2 percent shooting through his first 14 games. <\/p>\n
But in 12 games since \u2014 starting with 16-point, 13-rebound night Jan. 6 versus Indiana \u2014 Sharpe has averaged 8.9 points, 7.2 boards and 54.3 percent shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel a lot better since New Year\u2019s started,\u201d Sharpe told The Post. \u201cI feel like December had to get little kinks out with my body and stuff like that. But I feel a lot better now. I\u2019m just trying to keep that, maintain that \u2026 So, staying focused.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jordi Fernandez added, \u201cHe went through practice, got scanned [Thursday]. Everything looked good, but we still have to assess the discomfort.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah Clowney likely will be out through the All-Star break with a left ankle sprain sustained Monday versus Sacramento.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cam Thomas (left hamstring strain) had a follow-up MRI earlier this week that revealed appropriate healing. <\/p>\n
He\u2019ll continue individual on-court workouts and is expected back shortly after the All-Star break.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cam Johnson (right ankle sprain) is day-to-day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
