Lakers eye Day’Ron Sharpe as potential backup center option
Summary: The Los Angeles Lakers are seeking a backup center to support Anthony Davis. While they hope Jaxson Hayes can fill this role, they are also interested in acquiring Day’Ron Sharpe from the Brooklyn Nets, who will become a restricted free agent after the season.
Sharpe, 22, has performed well behind Nic Claxton but is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. He averaged 6.4 rebounds in limited playing time last season and may not receive enough minutes in Brooklyn to showcase his potential.
If the Nets do not retain Sharpe, he could attract offers starting at around $8.8 million. Analysts project he could secure a new contract worth approximately $22 million over three years, with a team option in the final year.
