Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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 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 during a rebuilding season.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Cleared to play Thursday
Sarr (calf) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
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 the rookie having any restrictions on Opening Night, though his role remains unclear. Sarr started at power forward and center during the preseason, but he's expected to share the frontcourt with Jonas Valanciunas to begin the regular season.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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.

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

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Dealing with calf soreness
Sarr won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Nets due to right calf soreness.
The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Sarr's next chance to suit up will come during Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks. 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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
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 fantasy target given his presumed role as the starting power forward.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: 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.
The No. 2 overall pick was the second-leading scorer for the Wizards on Sunday behind Jordan Poole (16 points). 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 open the 2024-25 campaign.
