Alex Sarr News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Full stat line in return Sarr (back) amassed 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 115-105 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Making his return to Washington's starting lineup after a two-game absence due to a back injury, Sarr supplied the Wizards with a full stat line and didn't appear to be facing any type of minute restrictions Friday. It's been an up-and-down rookie season thus far for the 2024 No. 2 overall pick, but he's been solid over his last seven games, averaging 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 blocks, 0.9 steals and 1.7 three-pointers per contest. The 19-year-old big man is still searching for his identity on offense in the NBA, but Sarr remains a strong source of blocks for fantasy managers going forward.

Good to go Friday Sarr (back) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers.

Impact Sarr will return to action Friday after missing Washington's previous two contests with lower back soreness. The rookie big man is averaging 11.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 28.2 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Won't play Sunday Sarr (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Sarr will miss both halves of Washington's weekend back-to-back set, marking his first absence of the season. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Cleveland. Justin Champagnie will likely draw another start in Sarr's absence.

Ruled out Satruday vs. Denver Sarr (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Sarr is dealing with soreness in his lower back. He'll be held out for Saturday's contest, and it's not clear whether the rookie center will be available for the Wizards' second-leg of a back-to-back Sunday against the Grizzlies. With Sarr sidelined for Saturday's game, Jonas Valanciunas will likely slide into the Wizards' starting lineup while Marvin Bagley sees more playing time in a reserve role.

Dealing with lower back soreness Sarr (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact The No. 2 overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft is working through lower back soreness, and his official status for Saturday's contest might not be known until he goes through pregame warmups. If Sarr is unable to play, Jonas Valanciunas would likely start at center while Marvin Bagley sees an uptick in playing time off the bench. Over his last five games, Sarr has averaged 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 blocks over 28.8 minutes per game.

Busy on defense in Tuesday's loss Sarr finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-87 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact The second overall pick in the 2024 Draft continues to have trouble producing at the offensive end on a consistent basis, but Sarr has been able to make an impact defensively to begin his career. He's failed to record at least one block only once in his first 19 NBA games, and he's snatched at least one block and one steal in four of the last five contests. Over that five-game stretch, Sarr is averaging 13.4 points, 7.4 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals.

Career-best effort from downtown Sarr finished Tuesday's 127-108 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.

Impact The four made three-pointers were a new career high for the second overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, while the 20 points tied his high-water mark so far. Sarr remains inconsistent offensively -- not surprising considering he won't turn 20 until late April -- but he's already a force on the defensive end of the court. He's recorded at least one block in 15 of his first 16 pro games, and his 1.9 rejections a game is tied for fifth in the league with Myles Turner.

Owns paint in double-double Sarr posted 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-103 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Sarr entered Sunday's contest dealing with a non-COVID illness, but ended up dominating the paint while leading all players in rebounds and concluding with team-high marks in scoring and blocks. Sarr, who has yet to miss a game this season, set a new season high in rebounds and has recorded a double-double in two outings. He has now tallied at least 15 points in three contests this year, two of which have came over the last five games.

Good to go Sunday Sarr (illness) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Sarr will play through a non-COVID illness Sunday, and he has yet to miss an outing through 14 regular-season games. The rookie has averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals across 26.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Iffy Sunday Sarr is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Sarr was a late addition to the injury report and could potentially miss his first game of the season due to an illness. If the 19-year-old is sidelined, Jonas Valanciunas should receive the starting nod.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production in loss Sarr registered six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 108-96 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Sarr continues to deliver modest production despite starting in all 14 games thus far. In 25.8 minutes per game, Sarr is putting up 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks, all while shooting a disappointing 35.0 percent from the floor and 70.0 percent from the line. His role should remain secure and should Jonas Valanciunas be moved at any point, Sarr's playing time could trend upwards. For now, he should continue to be a somewhat reliable source of blocks and rebounds.

Best scoring output of season Sarr amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and four steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 129-117 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Sarr posted his best scoring performance of the season Friday and added to his stellar night by showcasing his prowess on the defensive end. The rookie struggled mightily to find the bottom of the net through his first five appearances of November, hitting 35.3 percent of his field-goal attempts, but he's turned a corner of late, drilling 13 of 27 shots in his last two games.

Woeful shooting Monday Sarr supplied five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 28 minutes during Monday's 107-92 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Sarr continues to make an impact as a defender and rebounder for the Wizards, but at the same time, his scoring woes can't be overlooked. The rookie is averaging 9.2 points per game while shooting an abysmal 33 percent from the field. Fantasy managers will probably continue to trust him given his youth and the growing pains of a rookie year, but his first nine games in the NBA confirm what the scouts acknowledged in the pre-draft process that his offensive game was way behind his defensive contributions.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Sarr's shooting is a work in progress. The Wizards are fine with that. The No. 2 draft pick missed all three of his three-point attempts and scored five points in a 107-92 loss to the Rockets, the Wizards’ fifth...

Records 11 points Sarr ended with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 121-94 loss to the Magic.

Impact Sarr continues to produce solid counting stats for the Wizards, producing averages of 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers through eight games. His offense is still a major work in progress, however, as he's shooting 34.2 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc so far.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in loss Sarr racked up 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 27 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to the Warriors.

Impact This was Sarr's first double-double of his NBA career. His offense is a major work in progress with the rookie hitting 36.2 percent from the field and 20.7 percent from beyond the arc through six games, but the counting stats are intriguing with 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.8 blocks and 0.5 steals in 25.2 minutes through six appearances.
