Sarr was responsible for four of the Wizards' 10 blocked shots during Friday's win, and the second-year center has recorded at least four blocks in four of his last six outings. He is now averaging 2.4 blocks per game, which leads the league among qualified players ahead of Jay Huff (2.3) and Isaiah Stewart (2.0). In his second NBA season, Sarr is averaging 17.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 threes over 28.4 minutes per game while connecting on 50.4 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Rotowire

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Swats four shots in return
Rotowire
Sarr logged seven points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 loss to the Hornets.
Sarr's seven points were his lowest of the season, but four of his 11 boards came on the offensive glass, and he made most of his presence felt on the defensive side of the floor with four blocks, tying a season high he set Nov. 7 against the Cavaliers. 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.

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: 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.
