Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left fibula, the team announced Tuesday.

The injury was discovered during imaging performed on Sharpe's left calf strain.

The Trail Blazers said Sharpe's fibula injury will be re-evaluated in approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

Sharpe hasn't played since injuring the calf in the second quarter of a game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Feb. 6. He sat out the second half of the contest.

Portland hosts the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. It will mark Sharpe's seventh straight missed game.

Sharpe, 22, is averaging a career-best 21.4 points and 1.4 steals in 48 games (42 starts) this season. He's also averaging 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists and has made 101 3-pointers.

Overall, Sharpe is averaging 15.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 232 games (134 starts).

Portland also will be without All-Star forward Deni Avdija for the 11th time in 18 games due to lower-back issues when it hosts Minnesota.

Avdija reinjured his back in the opening minute of Sunday's 92-77 victory over the host Phoenix Suns.

Avdija is averaging 24.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 48 games during a breakout campaign.
