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.

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.

Sarr averaged 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals in 27.1 minutes per game during the 2024-25 regular season as a rookie, so the defensive stats will likely pile up soon.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Efficient performance Sunday
Rotowire
Sarr amassed 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 17 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to Toronto.
Sarr impressed on both ends of the floor, scoring efficiently while adding three combined steals and blocks. Coming off a solid rookie campaign, Sarr will be hoping to continue his ascension, as will the Washington coaching staff. Poor efficiency has always been a talking point when it comes to Sarr's upside, so this was an encouraging effort on the offensive end.
