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.

Rotowire
Sarr compiled 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and two turnovers in 29 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to the Knicks.
Sarr set a new career high in dimes, and with 4.1 assists a night on the season, he flashed some solid facilitating skills. He's looked like a completely different player in Year 2, and Sarr's currently flirting with top-30 value on the strength of averages of 17.0 points (52.7 percent shooting) to go with 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 swats per contest.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Sarr ended with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Bucks.
Sarr's workload was a bit underwhelming Wednesday, and the second-year center failed to record a block. He still double-doubled, however, and he dished out a few dimes in the loss. 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.

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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Suffers calf injury in EuroBasket
Rotowire
Sarr (calf) will miss the rest of the EuroBasket tournament, but he's expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
The severity of the issue is unclear, though Sarr won't need surgery to address the problem. His status will still be worth monitoring this fall, as it's possible the 2024 No. 1 overall pick will have his reps limited in training camp in some capacity due to the setback. If Sarr is restricted in any way to begin the new year, Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Marvin Bagley are the next men up on Washington's depth chart at center.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Excellent two-way performance
Rotowire
Sarr racked up 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 104-98 loss to the Pacers.
Sarr recorded a double-double for the first time since March 21, when the rookie recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds in a 120-105 loss to the Magic. Sarr might not be racking up as many double-doubles as his playing style would suggest, but the rookie remains a solid contributor on both ends of the court. He's scored in double digits in nine of his previous 11 outings, averaging 15.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game in that stretch.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Attempts 17 shots
Rotowire
Sarr ended with 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 loss to the Celtics.
This was Sarr's ninth game of his rookie campaign with at least 17 shot attempts. It's no secret that his offensive game is very raw, as he's hitting 39.6 percent from the field this season. The Wizards are clearly giving him the green light, presumably to speed up his development. His defense has been tremendous, though, as he's averaging 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals on the season.
