Wizards' Alex Sarr: Hopeful for Opening Night
Sarr (calf) said Monday that he's hopeful to play Thursday against the Celtics for Opening Night, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Sarr added that his calf feels great and that he's trending in the right direction. The Wizards diagnosed him with calf soreness, which was why he was held out of their final two preseason contests, but it sounds like the team was mostly erring on the side of caution.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Status for opener in question
Sarr's calf soreness is not considered serious, but the Wizards have not confirmed his availability for Thursday's regular-season-opening matchup with the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, struggled with his shooting efficiency during the preseason, but he did show flashes of contributions across the board. He missed the Wizards' final two exhibition contests due to calf soreness, and it sounds like Washington could err on the side of caution with the rookie when the regular season tips off. Should he ultimately miss any time, Patrick Baldwin would be a candidate to see increased minutes at power forward. More clarity on Sarr's status figures to come when the Wizards release their first injury report.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Out for preseason finale
Sarr (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Sarr is still being listed with right calf soreness, so it doesn't appear like a major injury, though the rookie will miss a second straight exhibition. His status for next Thursday's regular-season opener against the Celtics will need to be monitored.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Dealing with calf soreness
Sarr won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Nets due to right calf soreness.
The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Sarr's next chance to suit up will come during Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks. The Wizards started Sarr at power forward and center in the preseason, but he's expected to open the campaign at power forward, with Jonas Valanciunas anchoring the paint.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Shifts to center Friday
Sarr amassed seven points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3PT, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Friday's 113-95 preseason win over Toronto.
Sarr shifted to center with Jonas Valanciunas moving back to the bench. Despite having the height to fill the center role, Sarr is yet to fully develop physically, meaning the power forward spot is likely his preferred position. There is no indication this was anything other than a preseason experiment, meaning Sarr should begin the regular season at the four.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Strong performance again Wednesday
Sarr compiled 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3PT), nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 117-94 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Sarr put together another impressive performance, albeit with some inefficient shooting. Across two preseason contests, he has been the standout player for Washington despite two heavy losses. Sarr should be viewed as a viable late-round fantasy target given his presumed role as the starting power forward.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Efficient in preseason debut
Sarr tallied 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to Toronto.
The No. 2 overall pick was the second-leading scorer for the Wizards on Sunday behind Jordan Poole (16 points). Sarr had some shooting struggles during the Summer League, but he was efficient in the preseason opener. Sarr should be starting in the frontcourt alongside Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Kuzma to open the 2024-25 campaign.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Won't play in SL finale
The Wizards ruled Sarr out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Bucks.
It doesn't appear that Sarr is dealing with an injury considering he is one of seven prominent players taking a seat for Washington's final Summer League contest. The No. 2 overall pick struggled on the offensive end in Vegas but flashed the rim protection and defensive versatility that makes him such an intriguing prospect at seven feet tall.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Shooting woes continue Thursday
Sarr finished just 1-of-6 from the floor for two points over 28 minutes, adding 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in an exhibition win over the Kings on Thursday.
Sarr has been ice cold in Las Vegas, converting just 19.1 percent of his shot attempts through his first four games in Summer League. His first, and only, bucket Thursday didn't come until the closing minute of the first half, and he then proceeded to chuck up another three donuts after halftime. On the plus side, he added 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block, so while his offense is certainly a work in progress, Sarr has been able to show he can steadily provide defensive stats.
