• Wizards' Alexandre Sarr: Full stat line in return

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  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. Making his return to the 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 restrictions. It's been an up-and-down rookie season thus far for the No. 2 overall pick, but he's been solid over his last seven games, averaging 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 1.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.9 steals per contest. The 19-year-old big man is still lacking in efficiency and carries more value in points leagues, but Sarr should remain a strong source of blocks in category leagues moving forward, and his offensive production should improve as the season rolls along.

• Wizards' Alexandre Sarr: Dealing with lower back soreness

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Sarr (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets. 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.

• Wizards' Alex Sarr: Busy on defense in Tuesday's loss

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  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. The second overall pick in the 2024 Draft continues to have trouble producing at the offensive end consistently, 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.

• Wizards' Alex Sarr: Career-best effort from downtown

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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. However, 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.
