Sarr (adductor) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Sarr recently had an extended absence with a right adductor injury, so the Wizards are exercising caution on the second half of their back-to-back. The second-year big man should be available for Tuesday's clash against the Hornets. Marvin Bagley (calf) and Tristan Vukcevic are in position to handle the center minutes Sunday,

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Records seventh double-double
Rotowire
Sarr closed Saturday's 130-122 victory over the Grizzlies with 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes.
The Grizzlies lost Brandon Clarke (calf) early in the contest, and Sarr was able to take advantage of the gap opposite an overworked Jaren Jackson. Although Jock Landale stepped in to cover the absence, he had limited success while the Wizards worked their way back from a massive deficit. Sarr showed no ill effects from the thigh injury that sidelined him for six games, although he may take a seat for injury management Sunday, which is the tail end of the back-to-back.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Strong numbers in limited minutes
Rotowire
Sarr (adductor) registered 18 points (8-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 24 minutes Thursday in the Wizards' 119-94 loss to the Spurs.
Aside from a 6-for-14 showing from two-point range, Sarr generally performed well in his return from a right adductor strain, which had kept him out for the Wizards' last six games. Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly (23 minutes) -- who had missed the previous four contests with an oblique injury -- saw far less playing time than the rest of the Wizards' starters, but both should see their minutes restrictions lifted after getting another game or two under their belt. The Wizards have a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set coming up against the Grizzlies and Spurs, respectively, so Sarr could be a candidate to sit out one of those games for maintenance purposes.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Returning Thursday
Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) is off the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Sarr is set to return Thursday from a six-game absence due to a right adductor strain. His return means Marvin Bagley -- who has started in the Wizards' last six games -- will likely revert to a rotational role, though he could still have meaningful playing time off the bench if Sarr's minutes are capped.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Could be facing extended absence
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Sarr (thigh) has not progressed enough in his recovery to do live work at practice, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Sarr has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, which will be the sixth game in a row that he'll miss due to a right adductor strain. There's no clear timeline for his return, but it appears the second-year center is facing an extended absence. Marvin Bagley should continue to start for as long as Sarr is sidelined.

Sarr (adductor) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Another absence coming
Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.
Sarr will be sidelined for the fifth straight game, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of games. Look for Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic to continue to fill the void in the meantime.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) will remain on the inactive list for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Out again Thursday
Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Out at least two games
Rotowire
Sarr (adductor), who won't play Monday against the Bucks, will remain out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Head coach Brian Keefe said that Sarr's sore right adductor isn't a major concern, so the second-year big man could have a realistic chance at playing Thursday versus the Celtics. With Sarr out of action Monday and Tuesday, Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic should split the minutes at center.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) won't play Monday against the Bucks.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Sarr is questionable for Monday's matchup with Milwaukee due to right adductor soreness.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Set to return Saturday
Rotowire
Sarr (toe) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Bulls.
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 before the 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.

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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Sarr (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Sarr is in jeopardy of missing his second game of the season. Friday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set as well, so the Wizards may 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 and misses a second straight game.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Sarr (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

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.
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.
