Wizards' Alex Sarr: Ruled out Sunday
Rotowire
Sarr (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Sarr will miss his first game since Dec. 21 due to right calf soreness. Over the past 15 contests, the 20-year-old is averaging 17.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 blocks while shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from three. His absence opens the door for Marvin Bagley (back) to enter the starting lineup in his first game back from a five-game absence. Sarr's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Knicks.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Sarr is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings with right calf soreness.
This is a new injury for Sarr, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. Marvin Bagley is no longer on the injury report for Washington, so he would be a solid streaming option in fantasy hoops if Sarr can't shake this questionable tag.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Adds 16 points in loss
Rotowire
Sarr closed with 16 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 142-111 loss to the Lakers.
Sarr was efficient from inside the arc but struggled from downtown, and he has shot just 26.3 percent from three-point range over his last five outings. Still, the second-year center finished as Washington's second-leading scorer and has reached the 15-point mark in eight straight games. He also chipped in at least five assists for the first time since Nov. 8, and he has dished out five-plus dimes six times this season.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Sarr (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Robbins notes that a bug is going around the locker room. At least for now, Sarr can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks, which just happens to be the front end of a back-to-back set. The Wizards could rely on small-ball lineups if Sarr can't play, as Marvin Bagley (back) and Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring) have been banged up.

He has missed seven of the Wizards' last 10 games while managing a right adductor injury, but he should be available to play against the Raptors on Friday, given the additional rest.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Sarr (adductor) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game in Charlotte.
Sarr sat out Sunday's game, which came as the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night, which will likely shift Tristan Vukcevic back to the second unit. It'll be interesting to see if Sarr, who has been limited to minutes in the mid-20s since his return, will be able to sniff closer to 30 minutes in his third game back.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
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.

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

Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.

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.
