Still out due to ankle injury Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Sarr will miss a sixth straight game due to a sprained left ankle, and his next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Spurs. Richaun Holmes played a season-high 31 minutes during the Wizards' 134-124 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, and he should continue to see heavy minutes at center due to Sarr's absence.

Ruled out for Friday Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Sarr has missed the last five games for the Wizards while nursing a sprained left ankle. With the rookie big man still on the mend, Washington could turn to Kyshawn George and Richaun Holmes to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt, especially with Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Kuzma being traded ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline. Alex Len and Tristan Vukcevic may also see a bump in minutes Friday.

Not playing Wednesday Sarr (ankle) is now listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Sarr was initially ruled out for the contest, then was upgraded to available on the 6:30 ET injury report before ultimately being ruled out again on the 7:30 ET report. Richaun Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic should handle most of the center minutes Wednesday. Sarr's next chance to play will come Friday against Cleveland.

FEBRUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Now listed as available Wednesday Sarr (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Sarr hasn't played since spraining his ankle Jan. 27 against the Pistons, and he was initially listed as out for Wednesday's game, which would've marked a fifth straight absence. However, the rookie has been surprisingly upgraded to available after Washington traded Jonas Valanciunas to the Kings on Wednesday afternoon. Sarr will likely face restrictions, so Richaun Holmes may still see a sizable role off the bench.

FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Wednesday vs. Brooklyn Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Sarr sprained his left ankle Jan. 27 against the Pistons, and the injury has been severe enough for him to miss his fifth straight game Wednesday. There isn't a clear timeline for the rookie center's return, so Jonas Valanciunas will continue to start for the Wizards while Richaun Holmes serves as the main backup. Friday's bout against the East-leading Cavaliers will be Sarr's next opportunity to see the court.

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Monday Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Sarr will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to feature will come Wednesday against the Nets. Jonas Valanciunas should draw another start Monday, with Richaun Holmes likely to receive increased playing time as his primary backup.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday vs. T-Wolves Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Sarr will miss a third consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play will be Monday against the Hornets. Jonas Valanciunas has started at center in the Wizards' last two games and will likely do so again Saturday while Richaun Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic serve in rotational roles off the bench due to Sarr's absence.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Thursday Sarr (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Lakers.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Sarr (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Raptors.

Impact Sarr was previously listed as questionable after picking up the ankle injury Monday against Dallas. For now, Sarr can be considered questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back set Thursday against the Lakers. Jonas Valanciunas will likely step into the starting lineup and could have some nice streaming appeal against Toronto.

Iffy for Wednesday Sarr is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a left ankle sprain.

Impact Sarr picked up the ankle injury Monday against Dallas. He attempted to play through it, but was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Wizards could exercise caution. If that's the case, Jonas Valanciunas could step into a large role.

Downgraded to out Sarr (ankle) won't return to Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Sarr visited the locker room during the second quarter after going down with a left ankle injury, and while he was temporarily able to re-enter the matchup after being evaluated, he evidently didn't feel healthy enough to finish this one out. Look for Jonas Valanciunas and Anthony Gill to see more work at center down the stretch with Sarr out of commission.

Questionable to return Monday Sarr is questionable to return during Monday's game against Dallas due to left ankle soreness.

Impact Sarr was able to return to the game after heading back to the locker room at the start of the second quarter, though he is now in jeopardy of missing the final half of the contest. If the rookie big man is unable to return during the second half, Jonas Valanciunas will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Returns Monday Sarr returned to Monday's game against Dallas with 6:48 remaining in the second quarter, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sarr exited to the locker room at the start of the second quarter after a hard fall in the first. However, there's no indication that he'll be limited the rest of the way.

Exits to locker room Monday Sarr (undisclosed) went back to the locker room early in the second quarter of Monday's game against Dallas, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sarr was slow to get up following a fall in the first quarter, though he remained in the game until going back to the locker room in the start of the second. If the rookie big man is unable to return, Jonas Valanciunas will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Swats career-high five shots Sarr finished Tuesday's 111-88 loss to the Lakers with 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, five blocks and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact Sarr recorded a career-high five blocks in the losing effort which was a big step in the right direction -- he had a total of nine blocks in his previous 10 games. He remains a huge project on the offensive end, however, as he's hitting 38.4 percent from the field in 11 January appearances.

Close to double-double Sarr recorded 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 122-114 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Sarr finished just one rebound shy of recording what would've been his fourth double-double since the beginning of January. The rookie big man has shown flashes of his talent but has lacked consistency on a game-to-game basis. Still, he seems to be improving with each passing game. Through nine games in January, Sarr is averaging 12.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 blocks per contest despite shooting just 40.8 percent from the floor.

JANUARY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fills box score Thursday Sarr provided 16 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 130-123 loss to the Suns.

Impact Sarr filled the box score for the Wizards on Thursday, reaching double digits in scoring for the 16th time in his last 17 appearances. The rookie big man is averaging 12.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.8 threes in 26.8 minutes across his past four games. Shooting inefficiency has been an issue for the 2024 No. 2 overall pick, who is shooting just 39.6 percent from the floor during this period, but Sarr remains locked into Washington's starting role at center over veteran Jonas Valanciunas.

Double-double despite shooting woes Sarr posted 11 points (4-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Friday's 138-105 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Sarr might have ended with a double-double, but his shooting line shows the rookie remains a work in progress on the offensive end of the court. This was Sarr's third double-double across his last five games. Even though he's averaging 12.2 points and 9.6 rebounds per game in that span, he's also shooting a poor 39 percent from the field, which is even worse considering his position on the court as a center.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up against Chicago Sarr (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Sarr has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Washington's previous contest due to an illness. The rookie big man should reclaim his starting spot from Jonas Valanciunas.
