Nets 21 points with three swats Sarr registered 21 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two turnovers in 25 minutes during Sunday's 139-113 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Sarr attempted 5.1 three-pointers per game last season, but only converted 30.8 percent of those attempts, so he's mostly abandoned those shots this season. Through the first three games of his 2025-26 campaign, he's attempted just three three-pointers, which has corresponded with solid shooting percentages. It looks like he's going to focus on getting more efficient buckets this season, which will be great for his fantasy value.

LaMelo Ball's triple-double helps Hornets handle Wizards, 139-113

Just misses double-double in win Sarr closed with 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 117-107 win over the Mavericks.

Impact The second-year center came one board short of posting his second straight double-double to begin the season, and he complemented his scoring and rebounding with a strong defensive effort. Sarr, the second overall pick in the 2024 Draft, is a key part of the Wizards' rebuild, and he's showing early signs of taking a big step forward in his second NBA campaign.

Double-doubles in loss Sarr ended with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Sarr's workload was a bit underwhelming Wednesday, and the second-year center failed to record a block. He still double-doubled, however, and he dished out a few dimes in the loss. Sarr averaged 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals in 27.1 minutes per game during the 2024-25 regular season as a rookie, so the defensive stats will likely pile up soon.

Scores 10 points Thursday Sarr registered 10 points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 23 minutes of Thursday's 119-98 preseason loss to Detroit.

Impact Sarr struggled to score efficiently from the field, and that was a consistent theme during his rookie season. And if Thursday was any indication, Sarr has the green light to shoot from beyond the arc as he continues to expand his game. Apart from his offensive shortcomings, there's a lot to like here in terms of defense and rebounding from a fantasy perspective.

Impact Sarr amassed 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 17 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to Toronto, but he'll take a seat for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. Sarr battled a calf injury to start training camp, but he's not expected to face any limitations come Opening Night.

Efficient performance Sunday Sarr amassed 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 17 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to Toronto.

Impact Sarr impressed on both ends of the floor, scoring efficiently, while also adding three combined steals and blocks. Coming off a solid rookie campaign, Sarr will be hoping to continue his ascension, as will the Washington coaching staff. Poor efficiency has always been a talking point when it comes to Sarr's upside, so this was an encouraging effort on the offensive end.
