Alex Sarr Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Cavaliers vs Wizards game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 5, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Sarr (thigh) will remain on the inactive list for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Saturday will mark Sarr's fourth consecutive game on the sidelines, but the good news is that the Wizards don't play again until next Friday, so perhaps Sarr will be able to get back for that one. Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic will continue to split the center duties in Sarr's absence.
Dec 3, 2025
Out again Thursday
Sarr (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Thursday will mark the third consecutive game on the sidelines for Sarr, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tip-off. Considering there haven't been any updates of Sarr ramping up his workload, he should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hawks. Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic will continue to pick up the slack in Sarr's absence.
Dec 1, 2025
To miss at least two more games
Sarr (adductor), who won't play Monday against the Bucks, is also out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year big man's next chance to return is Thursday against Boston. Head coach Brian Keefe says the injury isn't serious, so fantasy managers should be relieved to hear that. With Sarr out of action, Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic should split the minutes at center for the next two contests.
Dec 1, 2025
Won't play Monday
Sarr (thigh) won't play Monday against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr was initially considered questionable for this contest, but the Wizards will hold him out for the front end of this back-to-back set. For now, he can be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers. In Sarr's absence, the Wizards will likely turn to Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic.
Nov 30, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Sarr is questionable for Monday's matchup with Milwaukee due to right adductor soreness.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards are scheduled for a four-game week that will open with a back-to-back set, so there's certainly a chance Sarr will skip Monday's game. If he is forced to the sidelines, Marvin Bagley would have an opportunity to start and there would be more minutes available for Tristan Vukcevic.
Nov 25, 2025
Tallies 27 points in victory
Sarr registered 27 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr was efficient with his chances from the field and led the Wizards in rebounds on the way to his second straight double-double. This marks his best scoring performance since Nov. 5, when he put up 31 points against the Celtics.
Nov 22, 2025
Set to return Saturday
Sarr (toe) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
A left toe injury sidelined Sarr for the Wizards' last two games, but the 2024 No. 2 overall pick has been cleared to play in Saturday's road contest. Sarr's return means Tristan Vukcevic will likely revert to a bench role, though the latter could still see meaningful minutes due to the absence of Marvin Bagley (hip). In his eight games prior to his toe injury, Sarr averaged 18.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.3 blocks over 29.9 minutes per game while shooting 50.8 percent from the field.
Nov 21, 2025
Won't play Friday
Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Sarr, and his next chance to play will come Saturday in Chicago. With Marvin Bagley (hip) also unavailable for Friday's game, Tristan Vukcevic will get all the run he can handle and Anthony Gill will have an opportunity to get into the rotation.
Nov 20, 2025
Iffy for Friday
Sarr (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Sarr is in jeopardy of missing his second game of the season Friday. That is the first leg of a back-to-back set as well, so it's possible the Wizards clear him for just one of these based on league trends. Marvin Bagley (hip) is doubtful, meaning Tristan Vukcevic could be in line for a lot of minutes if Sarr is unable to shake this questionable tag.
Nov 19, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Sarr (toe) will not play Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Sarr was previously considered questionable, but he'll sit out for the first time this season Wednesday. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Raptors. With Sarr sidelined, Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are candidates to see increased run at center.
Nov 18, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Sarr (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Sarr is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to left big toe soreness. If the second-year center is ultimately ruled out, Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are candidates for increased minutes. Over his last five outings, Sarr has averaged 17.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.6 minutes per contest.
Nov 12, 2025
Double-doubles in loss
Sarr generated 25 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 135-112 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Sarr delivered a second consecutive double-double, following up Monday's 15-point, 15-rebound outing with a 25-point outburst. The second-year center had hit the 25-point milestone twice in 11 games before Wednesday's outing. On the year, Sarr is averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.3 blocks per game.
Nov 8, 2025
Turns in strong final line
Sarr provided 17 points (6-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr struggled as a shooter during Saturday's matchup, but he still managed to reach 17 points given his shot volume. He continues to find work on the opposite end of the court, leading the Wizards in swats. Sarr has racked up three or more blocks in six of 10 appearances so far this season.
Nov 7, 2025
Another solid scoring night
Sarr notched 20 points (10-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 148-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr failed to connect from downtown but still managed to put together an efficient shooting line. He continues to serve as one of the lone bright spots for this Wizards team, averaging 18.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists in his last five appearances.
Nov 5, 2025
Drops 31
Sarr finished with 31 points (12-20 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 136-107 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Sarr filled up the stat sheet in an otherwise forgettable night for his squad. The French import has now scored 31 points twice this season and is averaging 19 points per game.
Nov 3, 2025
Flirts with triple-double in loss
Sarr compiled 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and two turnovers in 29 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr set a new career-high in dimes in this one, and with 4.1 assists a night on the season, he currently sits as the Wizards' leading playmaker. He's looked like a completely different player in Year-2, and is currently flirting with top-30 value on the year behind averages of 17.0 points on 52.7 percent shooting to go with 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 swats per contest.
Nov 1, 2025
Swats three shots in loss
Sarr posted 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Sarr put together a respectable final line, highlighted by team highs in rebounds and blocks. He fell just shy of his second double-double in three appearances, as he continues to produce across the board on a nightly basis. Sarr has now put up at least 10 points and eight rebounds in five of his first six games of the 2025-26 season.
Oct 31, 2025
Logs solid line during loss
Sarr notched 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 127-108 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
After a superb 31/11/5 line against the Sixers, Sarr's point total fell back to earth, but he still registered a good rebound total. He came two rebounds shy of his third double-double over the first six games of the season, and his profile is definitely trending up despite his team's early struggles.
Oct 30, 2025
Team option picked up
Washington exercised their 2026-27 team option on Sarr on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
This was a formality for the Wizards with the team locking in their franchise center through the 2026-27 season with this $12.67 million option. Through the first four regular-season games, Sarr has been excellent with averages of 19.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers.
Oct 28, 2025
Double-doubles in defeat
Sarr supplied 31 points (13-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 139-134 overtime loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr led the Wizards in both points and rebounds en route to his second double-double in four regular-season games. The second-year big man's 31 points also marked his second career outing scoring at least 30. Additionally, he led Washington in blocks, racking up multiple swats for the third consecutive contest. He's averaging 19.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest.
Oct 26, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 25, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 23, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 17, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 16, 2025
Back in lineup vs. Pistons
Sarr (rest) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason finale in Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Sarr is back in the mix after missing Monday's preseason game against the Knicks. The second-year big man could see a relatively significant allotment of minutes in what is effectively a dress rehearsal ahead of Opening Night.
Oct 13, 2025
Won't play Monday
Sarr (rest) won't play during Monday's preseason game against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 13, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 12, 2025
Starting Sunday
Sarr (calf) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason opener against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
After missing the beginning of training camp with a calf issue he suffered during EuroBasket, Sarr has the green light to play and there's been no mention of any restrictions. That being said, it's likely that he has a modest workload Sunday as the Wizards gradually ramp him up.
Oct 11, 2025
Expected to play
Sarr (calf) said Saturday that he's expecting to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Raptors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Sarr participated in the non-contact portion of Monday's practice and has since continued to progress. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's likely that Sarr plays in just one of these games with the Wizards aiming to ramp him up gradually.
Oct 6, 2025
Limited at practice
Sarr (calf) participated in the non-contact portion of Monday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This wasthe first time that Sarr has been a partial participant in a practice since he injured his left calf during EuroBasket. Previous reports have indicated that Sarr could be ready to go by Opening Night, but it doesn't sound like a return in the preseason has been ruled out.
Sep 24, 2025
Will miss start of training camp
Sarr (calf) will miss the beginning of training camp, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Sarr went down with a calf injury during EuroBasket on Sept. 2, which resulted in him being sidelined for the rest of the tournament. That injury will carry over to the start of training camp for his NBA squad, but the team is hopeful he'll return to the floor soon. During his rookie campaign, Sarr averaged 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 39.4 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from deep.
Sep 2, 2025
Suffers calf injury in EuroBasket
Sarr (calf) will miss the rest of the EuroBasket tournament, but he's expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of the issue is unclear, though Sarr won't need surgery to address the problem. His status will still be worth monitoring this fall, as it's possible the 2024 No. 1 overall pick will have his reps limited in training camp in some capacity due to the setback. If Sarr is restricted in any way to begin the new year, Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Marvin Bagley are the next men up on Washington's depth chart at center.
Aug 29, 2025
Healthy for EuroBasket play
Sarr contributed seven points and four rebounds for France in Thursday's 92-64 EuroBasket victory over Belgium.
ANALYSIS
Sarr made two appearances in the Las Vegas Summer League before the Wizards shut him down, and he's since returned to action ahead of the new season. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick is looking to take another step forward in 2025-26, as Sarr averaged 15.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game following last year's All-Star break but shot just 39.5 percent from the floor during this stretch.
Jul 16, 2025
Will sit vs. Utah
Sarr (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Jazz, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will sit out a second straight game due to rest purposes. The French import's last performance on July 13 against the Nets was impressive, to put it mildly. He recorded eight blocks to go along with 16 points, 12 rebounds and two assists. It remains uncertain if he'll suit up again during the Las Vegas Summer League.
Jul 15, 2025
Ruled out Tuesday
Sarr (rest) won't play in Tuesday's Summer League game against the 76ers, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will sit out the front end of the team's back-to-back set. The 20-year-old big man's next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Jazz.
Jul 13, 2025
Logs near triple-double in SL
Sarr recorded 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, eight blocks and two assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-96 Summer League win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr dominated the paint Sunday, posting a game-high 12 rebounds, including four on the offensive glass and a game-high eight blocks. Sarr was a quality shot blocker during his rookie season, averaging 1.5 blocks per contest, and he has been impressive in that category thus far at Summer League, logging 11 blocks through two games.
Apr 14, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 9, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 7, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 3, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 30, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 28, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 26, 2025
Does it all as leading scorer
Sarr finished with 24 points (10-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr put his mark on nearly every aspect of Wednesday's contest, leading all players in scoring and blocks while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and contributing on the glass. Sarr posted his second highest scoring total of the year, falling behind his season-high 34 points tallied March 15.
Mar 23, 2025
Struggles from field Saturday
Sarr logged eight points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 27 minutes during Saturday's 122-103 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has been the Wizards' best player in the second half of the season, but the rookie didn't have a good performance in this match, as he struggled to deal with Karl-Anthony Towns on both ends of the court. This was the first time Sarr scored in single digits since March 11, and just the third time he's done it since the beginning of March, a span in which he's averaging 16.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest across 12 outings.
Mar 22, 2025
Thriving from three-point range
Sarr notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Sarr was productive on both ends of the court and recorded a double-double for the third time over his last eight appearances, so the progress the rookie has been making of late is noticeable. One area in which he's improved massively is his outside shooting, though, and he's getting more and more comfortable playing in the perimeter. In fact, Sarr has drained two or more threes in five games in a row, a span in which he's averaging 22.8 points per game while shooting an impressive 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 20, 2025
Nails four triples in loss
Sarr ended Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Jazz with 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Sarr continues to improve throughout his rookie year, as he has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games. Not only is this the 19-year-old forward's longest streak of the season, but he has only scored at least 20 points seven times total. Sarr has also been efficient from behind the arc as of late, converting 38.3 percent of his 6.0 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances.
Mar 16, 2025
Leads Washington in victory
Sarr recorded 34 points (12-28 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr provided a full stat line while contributing a team- and career-high mark in points. Moreover, the rookie made a career-high five three-pointers during an efficient outing. The big man has improved as a three-point shooter since the All-Star break, during which he has shot 37.7 percent from downtown on 5.9 attempts per game. Additionally, Sarr has now reached double-digit points in seven of his last nine appearances, averaging 16.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 blocks across 27.7 minutes per contest in that nine-game span.
Mar 14, 2025
Top scorer in balanced outing
Sarr notched 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 30 minutes during Thursday's 129-125 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Sarr led Washington on both ends of the floor Thursday, pacing all Wizards in scoring and blocks in a well-rounded performance. Sarr has tallied at least 15 points and four blocks in two contests, now posted 15 or more points in three of his last five outings.
Mar 11, 2025
Posts another double-double
Sarr posted 16 points (5-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has been one of the most consistent rookies in the 2024-25 season, and the Frenchman has improved vastly when compared to how he was playing in the early stages of the campaign. This was his second consecutive double-double, and he's notched that feat eight times already in 2024-25. He's averaging a solid line of 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and a combined 2.0 steals-plus-blocks per game in six outings since the beginning of the All-Star break.
Mar 9, 2025
Nabs double-double in Toronto
Sarr ended with 10 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The second overall pick in the 2024 Draft collected the seventh double-double of his career, and his first since Jan. 23. Sarr has had something of a stop-start rookie campaign, but in four games since returning from a sprained ankle, the 19-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 6.5 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.3 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks as he teases his multi-category fantasy potential.
Mar 6, 2025
Puts up 21 points
Sarr closed Wednesday's 125-122 victory over Utah with 21 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Sarr reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Feb. 21, when he notched 22 points and seven boards in a loss to the Bucks. The rookie Frenchman has been struggling with injuries lately, and he's been limited to just five appearances since the beginning of November. The lack of availability limits his upside a bit.

Modest output in return
Sarr (ankle) tallied 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 26 minutes Saturday in the Wizards' 113-100 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr made his return to action after missing the previous three games with a left ankle sprain. He took back his spot in the starting five and ended up seeing the larger share of playing time at center, with Richaun Holmes moving into a backup role and covering the other 22 minutes. The Wizards will continue to prioritize Sarr when he's healthy enough to play, and while he's already proven to be a strong source of defensive stats with averages of 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals per contest, the rookie's poor efficiency will make his scoring more volatile from game to game.
Mar 1, 2025
Available vs. Charlotte
Sarr (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has missed the last three games for the Wizards while dealing with an ankle injury. He'll return to the floor Saturday in Charlotte, which should give Washington a much-needed boost in the frontcourt against the Hornets.
Feb 28, 2025
Iffy for Saturday
Sarr (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest due to a lingering left ankle sprain. The rookie big man has missed 11 of the club's last 13 outings due to the ankle injury, with his two appearances coming directly before and after the All-Star break. If Sarr is sidelined once again, Richaun Holmes should draw another start.
Feb 26, 2025
Ruled out against Portland
Sarr (ankle) will not play against Portland on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will miss his third straight contest Wednesday, though he's likely still day-to-day since he was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update. Richaun Holmes will likely start again with Tristan Vukcevic backing him up.
Feb 25, 2025
Questionable to play Wednesday
Sarr (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has missed two straight games -- and 10 of the Wizards' last 12 -- due to a left ankle sprain. Richaun Holmes will continue to anchor the starting center spot for Washington for as long as Sarr is sidelined while Tristan Vukcevic sees increased playing time off the bench.
Feb 24, 2025
Won't go Monday
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Brooklyn, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will miss his second consecutive contest Monday, marking his 10th absence due to a left ankle sprain over the Wizards' last 12 outings. With the rookie big man sidelined, Richaun Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
Feb 24, 2025
Iffy for Monday
Sarr (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
After missing eight straight games, Sarr returned to action during Washington's final game before the All-Star break. He also played Friday versus Milwaukee, posting 22 points, seven rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes. However, the rookie was back in street clothes Sunday, the first half of a back-to-back set, and he's in danger of missing another contest Monday. If he's sidelined again, Richaun Holmes would likely draw another start.
Feb 23, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
After missing eight straight games, Sarr returned to action during Washington's final game before the All-Star break. He also played Friday versus Milwaukee, posting 22 points, seven rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes. However, the rookie will be back in street clothes Sunday, the first half of a back-to-back set. Sarr will likely return to action Monday versus Brooklyn.
Feb 22, 2025
Questionable to play Sunday
Sarr is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Sarr missed eight games between Jan. 29 and Feb. 10 due to the same left ankle sprain that has him questionable for Sunday, and a decision on his status will likely be made closer to the 6 p.m. ET tipoff. Sarr is coming off one of the best games of his career after delivering a career-high 22 points in the loss to the Bucks on Friday.
Feb 22, 2025
Scores career-high 22 points
Sarr amassed 22 points (8-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 104-101 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards suffered a tight loss to the Bucks on Friday, but Sarr made a strong case to be considered the best player on the floor. He led all scorers with 22 points but also filled the stat sheet and finished three boards shy of a double-double. This 22-point output was a new career-high mark for the rookie big man, who's returning from an eight-game absence due to a left ankle sprain.
Feb 12, 2025
Nears double figures in return
Sarr posted nine points (3-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 32 minutes in Wednesday's 134-130 overtime loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Sarr (ankle) returned Wednesday while making his first appearance since Jan. 27, putting together a balanced effort despite struggling shooting the ball from the field in a high-scoring overtime battle. Sarr, who recorded a team-high-tying pair of blocks and finished one point shy of double figures, posted his fifth outing of the season with at least nine points, six rebounds and four assists.
Feb 12, 2025
Deemed available Wednesday
Sarr (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has been upgraded from questionable to available and will make his first appearance since Jan. 27. The rookie will likely face restrictions given his lengthy layoff, and this is Washington's final contest before the All-Star break. Over his nine appearances before the ankle injury, Sarr averaged 11.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals in 27.2 minutes per game.
Feb 11, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
Sarr (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
After missing the last eight games for the Wizards with a left ankle sprain, Sarr might return to the floor Wednesday against Indiana. The rookie big man is averaging 11.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 39.7 percent and 30.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Feb 9, 2025
Won't play Monday
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Sarr is slated to miss a seventh straight game. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Pacers, which is Washington's final contest before the All-Star break. Richaun Holmes should continue to start in Sarr's absence.
Feb 8, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 6, 2025
Ruled out for Friday
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 5, 2025
Not playing Wednesday
Sarr (ankle) is now listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 5, 2025
Now listed as available Wednesday
Sarr (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 4, 2025
Not playing Wednesday vs. Brooklyn
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 2, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 31, 2025
Not playing Saturday vs. T-Wolves
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 30, 2025
Still out Thursday
Sarr (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to left ankle soreness. Jonas Valanciunas should draw another start in his absence. Sarr's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Minnesota.
Jan 29, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Sarr (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 28, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Sarr is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 27, 2025
Downgraded to out
Sarr (ankle) won't return to Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 27, 2025
Questionable to return Monday
Sarr is questionable to return during Monday's game against Dallas due to left ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 27, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 27, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 22, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 19, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 16, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 11, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 10, 2025
Suiting up against Chicago
Sarr (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 9, 2025
Questionable for Friday
Sarr (illness) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 8, 2025
Ruled out Wednesday
Sarr (illness) has officially been ruled out Wednesday against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 8, 2025
Dealing with illness
Sarr is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 5, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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).
Jan 4, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 2, 2025
Records double-double
Sarr finished with 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 125-107 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Sarr posted at least 10 points and 10 rebounds for the first time since Nov. 24, when he had a 17-point, 14-rebound effort against the Pacers. Despite the inconsistencies that come with being a rookie, Sarr has been improving as the season progresses, and he's on a nice run when it comes to scoring. He's posted double-digit scoring figures in 10 straight games, averaging 13.5 points per game and shooting 45.7 percent from three in that span.
Dec 30, 2024
Good to go Monday
Sarr (illness) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr was a late addition to the injury report due to the illness, though he'll give it a go Monday. Over his last five outings, the rookie big man has averaged 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 blocks across 30.2 minutes per contest. He has also shot 46.4 percent from beyond the arc while attempting 5.6 threes per contest in that five-game span.
Dec 30, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Sarr (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr was a late addition to the injury report which is rarely a good thing in fantasy basketball. The Wizards are unlikely to push Sarr at less than 100 percent given how their season is going, but they could wait and see how he looks in warmups before a decision is made. If Sarr is unable to go, Jonas Valanciunas would likely step into a larger role.
Dec 27, 2024
Goes for 15 points in win
Sarr contributed 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr endured a slow start to the season, but he's been turning things around in recent weeks. The rookie Frenchman has scored in double digits in seven games in a row, his longest streak of the campaign, and there's no doubt he's trending in the right direction now that he seems to be adjusting better to the game stateside.
Dec 26, 2024
Good to go against Charlotte
Sarr (back) is available for Thursday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Washington's previous contest due to lower back soreness. The rookie big man should reclaim his starting job from Jonas Valanciunas.
Dec 25, 2024
Iffy for Thursday
Sarr (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr may miss a second straight game due to lower back soreness, which also cost the rookie two games earlier in December. If Sarr remains sidelined, Jonas Valanciunas would likely stick in the starting lineup.
Dec 23, 2024
Not playing Monday
Sarr (back) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will miss Monday's contest with a back issue. This is not the first time the rookie has been dealing with this injury, as he missed two games earlier this month with the same issue. Sarr's absence will likely translate to a bigger role for Jonas Valanciunas.
Dec 23, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Sarr is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to lower back soreness.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has played in four straight games for the Wizards, but it appears as though his back has flared up on him again -- he missed the opening two games of December with this injury. If he's unable to play Monday, Jonas Valanciunas will likely step into a much larger role for the Wizards.
Dec 20, 2024
Swats three shots in victory
Sarr produced 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 33 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has now scored double-digit points in five straight outings. While the rookie big man is still struggling with his efficiency on the season, he is shooting 40.9 percent on 4.4 three-point attempts per contest over that stretch. Sarr is still raw in his scoring ability, but his average of 1.9 blocks per game this season displays his elite rim-protection upside.
Dec 13, 2024
Full stat line in return
Sarr (back) amassed 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 115-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Making his return to Washington's starting lineup after a two-game absence due to a back injury, Sarr supplied the Wizards with a full stat line and didn't appear to be facing any type of minute restrictions Friday. It's been an up-and-down rookie season thus far for the 2024 No. 2 overall pick, but he's been solid over his last seven games, averaging 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 blocks, 0.9 steals and 1.7 three-pointers per contest. The 19-year-old big man is still searching for his identity on offense in the NBA, but Sarr remains a strong source of blocks for fantasy managers going forward.
Dec 12, 2024
Good to go Friday
Sarr (back) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will return to action Friday after missing Washington's previous two contests with lower back soreness. The rookie big man is averaging 11.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 28.2 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Dec 8, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Sarr (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will miss both halves of Washington's weekend back-to-back set, marking his first absence of the season. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Cleveland. Justin Champagnie will likely draw another start in Sarr's absence.
Dec 7, 2024
Ruled out Saturday vs. Denver
Sarr (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr is dealing with soreness in his lower back. He'll be held out for Saturday's contest, and it's not clear whether the rookie center will be available for the Wizards' second-leg of a back-to-back Sunday against the Grizzlies. With Sarr sidelined for Saturday's game, Jonas Valanciunas will likely slide into the Wizards' starting lineup while Marvin Bagley sees more playing time in a reserve role.
Dec 7, 2024
Dealing with lower back soreness
Sarr (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The No. 2 overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft is working through lower back soreness, and his official status for Saturday's contest might not be known until he goes through pregame warmups. If Sarr is unable to play, Jonas Valanciunas would likely start at center while Marvin Bagley sees an uptick in playing time off the bench. Over his last five games, Sarr has averaged 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 blocks over 28.8 minutes per game.
Dec 4, 2024
Busy on defense in Tuesday's loss
Sarr finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-87 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The second overall pick in the 2024 Draft continues to have trouble producing at the offensive end on a consistent basis, but Sarr has been able to make an impact defensively to begin his career. He's failed to record at least one block only once in his first 19 NBA games, and he's snatched at least one block and one steal in four of the last five contests. Over that five-game stretch, Sarr is averaging 13.4 points, 7.4 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals.
Nov 27, 2024
Career-best effort from downtown
Sarr finished Tuesday's 127-108 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The four made three-pointers were a new career high for the second overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, while the 20 points tied his high-water mark so far. Sarr remains inconsistent offensively -- not surprising considering he won't turn 20 until late April -- and is shooting just 24.3 percent from beyond the arc, but he's already a force on the defensive end of the court. He's recorded at least one block in 15 of his first 16 pro games, and his 1.9 rejections a game is tied for fifth in the league with Myles Turner.
Nov 24, 2024
Owns paint in double-double
Sarr posted 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-103 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr entered Sunday's contest dealing with a non-COVID illness, but ended up dominating the paint while leading all players in rebounds and concluding with team-high marks in scoring and blocks. Sarr, who has yet to miss a game this season, set a new season high in rebounds and has recorded a double-double in two outings. He has now tallied at least 15 points in three contests this year, two of which have came over the last five games.
Nov 24, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Sarr (illness) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Sarr will play through a non-COVID illness Sunday, and he has yet to miss an outing through 14 regular-season games. The rookie has averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals across 26.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances.
Nov 24, 2024
Iffy Sunday
Sarr is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
Sarr was a late addition to the injury report and could potentially miss his first game of the season due to an illness. If the 19-year-old is sidelined, Jonas Valanciunas should receive the starting nod.
Nov 23, 2024
Modest production in loss
Sarr registered six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 108-96 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Sarr continues to deliver modest production despite starting in all 14 games thus far. In 25.8 minutes per game, Sarr is putting up 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks, all while shooting a disappointing 35.0 percent from the floor and 70.0 percent from the line. His role should remain secure and should Jonas Valanciunas be moved at any point, Sarr's playing time could trend upwards. For now, he should continue to be a somewhat reliable source of blocks and rebounds.

Best scoring output of season
Sarr amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and four steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 129-117 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Sarr posted his best scoring performance of the season Friday and added to his stellar night by showcasing his prowess on the defensive end. The rookie struggled mightily to find the bottom of the net through his first five appearances of November, hitting 35.3 percent of his field-goal attempts, but he's turned a corner of late, drilling 13 of 27 shots in his last two games.
Nov 12, 2024
Woeful shooting Monday
Sarr supplied five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 28 minutes during Monday's 107-92 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Sarr continues to make an impact as a defender and rebounder for the Wizards, but at the same time, his scoring woes can't be overlooked. The rookie is averaging 9.2 points per game while shooting an abysmal 33 percent from the field. Fantasy managers will probably continue to trust him given his youth and the growing pains of a rookie year, but his first nine games in the NBA confirm what the scouts acknowledged in the pre-draft process that his offensive game was way behind his defensive contributions.
Nov 11, 2024
Records 11 points
Sarr ended with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 121-94 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Sarr continues to produce solid counting stats for the Wizards, producing averages of 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers through eight games. His offense is still a major work in progress, however, as he's shooting 34.2 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc so far.
Nov 5, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 3, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 31, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 29, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 27, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 25, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 22, 2024
Cleared to play Thursday
Sarr (calf) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 21, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 19, 2024
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 The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 18, 2024
Out for preseason finale
Sarr (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 14, 2024
Dealing with calf soreness
Sarr won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Nets due to right calf soreness.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 12, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 10, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 6, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jul 20, 2024
Won't play in SL finale
The Wizards ruled Sarr out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jul 18, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jul 14, 2024
Lackluster performance Sunday
Sarr recorded eight points (4-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 29 minutes during Sunday's Summer League game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The offensive struggles continue for Sarr, who has shot just 30.7 percent from the floor across two Summer League appearances. Despite the offensive woes, the second overall pick provided value with solid interior defense once again Sunday, tying for a game-high two blocks.
Jul 13, 2024
Game-high four blocks in win Friday
Sarr tallied 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 32 minutes in Friday's 94-88 win over the Hawks in the NBA 2k25 Summer League.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has been touted as an athletic big with the potential to block shots at an elite level, and he displayed this ability in the Summer League opener with a game-high four swats. The 19-year-old struggled from the field in the highly-anticipated matchup against No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher. However, Sarr stuffed the stat sheet, hitting an efficient two-of-five attempts from deep as well. The No. 2 overall pick played for Perth in the NBL during the 2023-24 season, and he averaged 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 17.3 minutes while shooting 29.0 percent from deep.
Jun 26, 2024
Selected No. 2 by Wizards
Sarr was selected with the No. 2 pick by the Wizards in the 2024 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
With a 9-foot-2 standing reach, jump-out-the-gym athleticism and impressive handles, Sarr, out of Perth of the NBL, is an extremely enticing prospect, and it's easy to see why he went No. 2 overall in the draft. He does have a slender frame that needs to fill out, and his offensive game remains a work in progress that's mostly inside the arc, but he should get plenty of opportunities in D.C. He has the potential to impact fantasy hoops right out of the gate with his shot-blocking ability.
