Plays just 16 minutes Sarr supplied 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 win over Miami.

Impact Sarr wasn't utilized much in the season finale with Tristan Vukcevic getting an extended look off the bench. As a rookie, Sarr ended up making 67 regular-season appearances, hitting 39.4 percent from the field and 67.9 percent from the line with averages of 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers in 27.1 minutes per contest. He finished just outside the top-150 in nine-category formats on a per-game basis.

Excellent two-way performance Sarr racked up 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 104-98 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Sarr recorded a double-double for the first time since March 21, when the rookie recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds in a 120-105 loss to the Magic. Sarr might not be racking up as many double-doubles as his playing style would suggest, but the rookie remains a solid contributor on both ends of the court. He's scored in double digits in nine of his previous 11 outings, averaging 15.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game in that stretch.

Attempts 17 shots Sarr ended with 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 loss to the Celtics.

Impact This was Sarr's ninth game of his rookie campaign with at least 17 shot attempts. It's no secret that his offensive game is very raw, as he's hitting 39.6 percent from the field this season. The Wizards are clearly giving him the green light, however, presumably to speed up his development. His defense has been tremendous, though, as he's averaging 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals on the season.

Balanced showing in defeat Sarr ended with 10 points (4-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 32 minutes in Thursday's 109-97 loss to Orlando.

Impact Sarr struggled shooting the ball in Thursday's contest, but still finishing as one of four players in double figures in scoring while concluding second in assists in a losing effort. Sarr set a new season high in assists, now tallying at least five rebounds and five assists in seven outings.

Struggles with shot in loss Sarr finished Saturday's 115-112 loss to the Nets with 12 points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 25 minutes.

Impact Neither Sarr nor Jordan Poole posted good numbers in this loss, and Sarr's woes came mainly in the scoring column, as he made just 33.3 percent of his shots while missing all five of his three-pointers. One subpar performance won't affect Sarr status as one of the best rookies in The Association this season, however, and he should aim to bounce back when the Wizards take on the Heat on Monday, although he'd have a tough matchup against the frontcourt of Kel'el Ware and Bam Adebayo in that contest.

Leads Washington in scoring Sarr ended with 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 162-109 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Sarr was the top scorer for the Wizards in this game. While the rookie tends to receive heavy minutes on a steady basis in order to give him as much exposure as possible in his first year in the league, he was limited to only 28 minutes in this blowout loss. Sarr has been playing well in recent weeks, though, and his growth has been massive. He's reached the 20-point mark in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 blocks per game in that span.
