Wizards' Alex Sarr: Limited to open camp
Rotowire
Sarr will be a partial participant when training camp begins as he continues his recovery from surgery to repair a fractured right foot,Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
General manager Will Dawkins said Thursday that Sarr is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, so the limited workload to begin camp appears precautionary. Sarr underwent surgery in mid-June, and his progress during the preseason will be worth monitoring, but there currently doesn't appear to be significant concern about his availability for Opening Night.
Washington's selection of AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft likely won't significantly alter Sarr's (foot) role heading into his third NBA season.
The 21-year-old big man is currently recovering from foot surgery but is expected to be ready for training camp after averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 48 regular-season appearances last year. Sarr remains a major part of the franchise's long-term plans, although the additions of established veterans could reduce some offensive responsibilities. His defensive upside should continue to provide substantial fantasy value if he can stay healthy.
Sarr underwent surgery to repair a fractured right foot Monday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Despite the procedure, Sarr is expected to be ready for the start of the 2026-27 season. The 2024 No. 2 overall pick was limited to 48 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 27.2 minutes per game.
