Natasha Desai, MD, Director of the Center for Women’s Sports Medicine, joins New York Post Sports anchor Dexter Henry for the weekly ‘Injury Report’ segment to explain how harmful concussions can be, what doctors need to see before clearing concussed players, as well as the pros and cons that wearing Guardian Caps can have on player safety.
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.
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.The injury forces second-year pro Noah Clowney — who could’ve competed for the starting power forward spot — into starting at center in Claxton’s absence, and being his only backup when the veteran returns.
Sharpe, who is in the last year of his rookie contract, averaged 6.8 points and an impressive 6.4 rebounds in just 15.1 minutes last season.The bruising big’s 16.3 offensive rebound percentage is third-best in the NBA among all players who’d logged at least a dozen games last season. Missing him for a month-and-a-half — at least — will be a blow.
