Alex Sarr News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

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.

Four blocks against Miami Sarr ended with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Saturday's 118-98 loss to the Heat.

Impact Sarr has registered four blocks in back-to-back games and has logged at least two rejections in each of the first five games of the regular season. The No. 2 overall pick is averaging 9.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.8 blocks over 24.8 minutes over the first five games of the 2024-25 regular season.

Records career-high four blocks Sarr registered 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 win over the Hawks.

Impact Sarr continued to struggle with his efficiency but managed to make a strong defensive impact. The rookie big man has tallied at least two blocks and one steal in each of his last three appearances. However, Sarr is still shooting 29.7 percent from the field and 23.8 percent from three.

Shooting woes continue Monday Sarr produced seven points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Hawks.

Impact As has been the trend during his first games at the NBA level, Sarr was impressive from a defensive perspective but struggled to get things going on offense. Even though three games aren't enough to draw valid conclusions, Sarr is averaging just 7.0 points per game while shooting 28.6 percent from the field, although he's also putting up 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 0.7 steals per contest. The potential is clearly there, and while it's all a matter of whether he can put it together, the Wizards will give him every chance in the world to develop and soak up as many minutes as he can.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to make mark defensively Sarr recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact After going 0-for-5 from deep in his regular-season debut, Sarr made his first career three-pointers in Saturday's blowout loss. The rookie's shooting inconsistencies will be a storyline all season, but Sarr continues to make his mark defensively, totaling 11 boards, four blocks and a steal through two games.

Rough showing in NBA debut Sarr finished Thursday's 122-102 loss to the Celtics with two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes.

Impact Sarr had a woeful showing in his NBA debut, struggling to make an impact on offense and getting embarrassed a few times on defense, particularly when he was matched up against Jayson Tatum. Sarr should eventually adjust to the pace of the NBA and his numbers should improve over time, with his next chance to do so coming in a home matchup against the Cavaliers on Saturday.

Cleared to play Thursday Sarr (calf) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sarr missed Washington's final two preseason games with soreness in his calf, but he said Monday that he's feeling great. With a couple more days to go, there's no reason to anticipate any restrictions for Opening Night.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hopeful for Opening Night Sarr (calf) said Monday that he's hopeful to play Thursday against the Celtics for Opening Night, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sarr added that his calf feels great and that he's trending in the right direction. The Wizards diagnosed him with calf soreness which was why he was held out of their final two preseason contests, but it sounds like the team was mostly erring on the side of caution.

Status for opener in question Sarr's calf soreness is not considered serious, but the Wizards have not confirmed his availability for Thursday's regular season opening matchup with the Celtics, Josh Robbins of...

Impact Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, struggled with his shooting efficiency during the preseason, but he did show flashes of contributions across the board. He missed the Wizards' final two exhibition contests due to calf soreness, and it sounds like Washington could err on the side of caution with the rookie when the regular season tips off. Should he ultimately miss any time, Patrick Baldwin would be a candidate to see increased minutes at power forward. More clarity on Sarr's status figures to come when the Wizards release their first injury report.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for preseason finale Sarr (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sarr is still being listed with right calf soreness, so it doesn't appear like a major injury, though the rookie will miss a second straight exhibition. His status for next Thursday's regular-season opener against the Celtics will need to be monitored.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with calf soreness Sarr won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Nets due to right calf soreness.

Impact The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Sarr's next chance to suit up will come during Friday's preseason finale. The Wizards started Sarr at power forward and center in the preseason, but he's expected to open the campaign at power forward, with Jonas Valanciunas anchoring the paint.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to center Friday Sarr amassed seven points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3PT, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Friday's 113-95 preseason win over Toronto.

Impact Sarr shifted to center with Jonas Valanciunas moving back to the bench. Despite having the height to fill the center role, Sarr is yet to fully develop physically, meaning the power forward spot is likely his preferred position. There is no indication this was anything other than a preseason experiment, meaning Sarr should begin the regular season at the four.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong performance again Wednesday Sarr compiled 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3PT), nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 117-94 preseason loss to the Knicks.

Impact Sarr put together another impressive performance, albeit with some inefficient shooting. Across two preseason contests, he has been the standout player for Washington, despite two heavy losses. Sarr should be viewed as a viable late-round target, given his presumed role as the starting power forward.

Alex Sarr puts up 15 in NBA preseason debut at Raptors

Efficient in preseason debut Sarr tallied 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to Toronto.

Impact The No. 2 overall pick was the second-leading scorer for the Wizards on Sunday behind Jordan Poole (16). Sarr had some shooting struggles during the Summer League, but he was efficient in the preseason opener. Sarr should be starting in the frontcourt alongside Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Kuzma to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Won't play in SL finale The Wizards ruled Sarr out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Bucks.

Impact It's not expected that Sarr is dealing with an injury, considering he is one of seven prominent players taking a seat for Washington's final Summer League contest. The No. 2 overall pick struggled on the offensive end in Vegas, but flashed the rim protection and defensive versatility that makes him such an intriguing prospect at seven feet tall.

Shooting woes continue Thursday Sarr's shooting woes continued Thursday, as he finished just 1-of-6 from the floor for six points over 28 minutes in an exhibition win over the Kings.

Impact Sarr has been ice-cold in Las Vegas, converting just 19.1 percent of his shot attempts through his first four games at Summer League. His first, and only, bucket didn't come until the closing minute of the first half, and he then proceeded to chuck up another three donuts after halftime. On the plus side, he added 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block while he was out there, so while his offense is certainly a work in progress, he has been able to show he can steadily provide the defensive stats.
