Portland Trail Blazers’ Shaedon Sharpe drives to the basket during a game against the San Antonio Spurs. Soobum Im / Imagn
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Trail Blazers have secured one of the pillars in their rebuild, signing 22-year old guard Shaedon Sharpe to a contract extension worth $90 million over four years, according to a league source.
The Blazers believe Sharpe, a springy 6-foot-6 wing, has superstar potential, and the former No. 7 pick in the 2022 draft has been flashing signs last season and this preseason that his breakout is around the corner. He is the Blazers’ leading scorer this preseason at 19 points a game, which comes after he averaged 18.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 72 games last season.

Sharpe figures to be at the center of what the Blazers are banking will be a return to relevance in the West. The Blazers have a young core that includes 24-year-old Deni Avdija, 25-year-old Toumani Camara and 21-year-old Donovan Clingan. Their hope is that Sharpe and 21-year-old point guard Scoot Henderson (who will miss the beginning of the season with a hamstring injury) pop this season to propel the Blazers into the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
Sharpe has a long list of high-flying dunks, and he is elite in creating his own shot off the dribble. But he has been a subpar 3-point shooter (31.3 percent last season) and has had his playing time shortened at times because of his defensive effort.
Sharpe has twice had surgery on his left shoulder — after his first Summer League game in his rookie season, and last season — and played only 32 games in his second NBA season after having surgery to repair a core injury.

England show new-found bottle – but biggest World Cup test to come
Whether your take on England's narrow win at the World Cup on Sunday was that they earned it or India threw it away, it definitely marked progress for Nat Sciver-Brunt's side.Keeping their cool in crunch moments has long been the team's nemesis: in successive T20 World Cups and, most obviously, that 16-0 Ashes drubbing just under a year ago. Yes, Australia are a brilliant team, one perhaps currently marching towards an eighth 50-over World Cup title, but England did not half shoot themselves in the foot last winter, freezing when it mattered most, losing games they could, perhaps should, have won. Image: Charlie Dean (left) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (right) after England's nervy win over India In Indore at the weekend, though, that changed.When the pressure was on, England held their nerve and India lost theirs as the World Cup co-hosts […]
What’s wrong with the Commanders? Why Washington is struggling and why turnaround might not be coming
Dan Quinn didn't have to say much after the Commanders' 44-22 loss to the Cowboys to send a message.Is he surprised by where his 3-4 Commanders stand so far this season?"Yes. Very."And what of that sequence before halftime, in which the Cowboys followed a Commanders touchdown by going 72 yards in just four plays and 35 seconds to score a touchdown of their own?"Words cannot explain. I was hot."Perhaps that sequence best encapsulates the Commanders right now. One step forward comes with two steps back. The players, Quinn admitted, are mad, too. But they were also mad after a 25-24 "Monday Night Football" loss to the Bears in which the offense committed three turnovers and the defense got shredded on the ground.Anger, it turns out, only goes so far. The Commanders are struggling on both sides of the ball with […]
