Alex Sarr News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Sarr (illness) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Sarr missed Wednesday's game against the 76ers and could miss Friday in Chicago. The rookie big man has recorded double-doubles in two of his last four games. He's averaging 11.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 blocks per game, shooting 40.8 percent from the floor and 31.2 percent from beyond the arc.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Sarr (illness) has officially been ruled out Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Impact Sarr will miss just his fourth game this season, and he is averaging 13.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.3 steals since his last absence on Dec. 23. Jonas Valanciunas will likely take Sarr's place in the starting lineup with Anthony Gill backing him up until Sarr is healthy again.

JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Sarr is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to an illness.

Impact The rookie finished Tuesday's blowout loss to the Rockets with only two points, his fewest since his NBA debut against Boston on Oct. 24. Carlton Carrington (back) and Kyle Kuzma (calf) are also questionable, while Marvin Bagley (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (foot) and Jordan Poole (hip) have all been ruled out already.

Fourth double-double Sunday Sarr chipped in 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 110-98 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Sarr produced the fourth double-double of his rookie season Sunday, extending a streak of double-digit scoring performances to 12 games in the process. During this interval, the first-year big man is averaging 14.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers. Sarr is slowly beginning to look the part of the 2024 No. 2 overall pick following a slow start to the year, but he'll face a stiff matchup Tuesday against the Rockets, who rank third in the league in points allowed per game (106.7).

JANUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing in loss Sarr chipped in 19 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 132-120 loss to New Orleans.

Impact The rookie center scored in double digits for the 11th straight appearance, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.4 blocks while shooting 43.8 percent from beyond the arc. Sarr has a firm hold on the starting job in the paint for the Wizards, but his workload could increase in the second half if the team elects to trade Jonas Valanciunas.
