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.
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's 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'll have a tough matchup against the frontcourt of Kel'el Ware and Bam Adebayo in that contest.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Struggles from field Saturday
Rotowire
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.
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 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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Thriving from three-point range
Rotowire
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.
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, and he's getting more comfortable playing on 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.

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 from beyond the arc.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Nabs double-double in Toronto
Rotowire
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.
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.

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.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Modest output in return
Rotowire
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.
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.

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.

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.

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 and also filled the stat sheet and finished three boards shy of a double-double.

Rotowire
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Now listed as available Wednesday
Rotowire
Sarr (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Not playing Wednesday vs. Brooklyn
Rotowire
Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
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 primary backup. Friday's bout against the East-leading Cavaliers will be Sarr's next opportunity to see the court.

Wizards' Alexandre Sarr: Fills box score Thursday
Rotowire

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.
