Shaedon Sharpe will begin some light on-court activities as he ramps up to a return to the team, the Trail Blazers announced Wednesday.

Sharpe suffered a lower abdominal strain in a Jan. 11th contest at Oklahoma City and has missed the last ten games.

In 32 games played this season, Sharpe is averaging 15.9 points on 40.6% shooting and 33.3% shooting from 3-point range. He is averaging 5 rebounds per game along with 2.9 assists, 1.4 turnovers, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks.

The Trail Blazers said Sharpe was recently re-evaluated and is making good progress.

The Blazers are 14-33 overall, the fifth-worst record in the league. They welcome back Damian Lillard to Moda Center tonight as they host the Milwaukee Bucks.
