A disastrous season for the Washington Wizards just got worse. With the team sitting at 14-39, one of its most promising youngsters is set to miss time with an injury.
Center Alex Sarr will be sidelined approximately two weeks due to a hamstring strain, the team announced.
It's unclear when the 20-year-old Sarr first sustained the injury. He first popped up on the team's injury report Wednesday, and eventually was ruled out for the contest with a hamstring issue. Prior to that, Sarr missed two other games in February, though with calf and ankle injuries.
Sarr took part in three games in between those injuries, and did not see his playing time decrease much in those contests.
After being selected by the Wizards with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Sarr has shown plenty of potential. He turned in a solid rookie year, leading to a sixth-place finish in the Rookie of the Year voting.
In his second season, Sarr has taken a step forward. The center is averaging 17.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. Despite that, the Wizards haven't won many games, and have one of the worst records in the NBA.
If there's a reason for optimism about Sarr's injury, it's that he shouldn't miss too many games for the Wizards. With All-Star Weekend on the horizon, the Wizards' next game will take place Feb. 19. If he were to return in exactly two weeks, he would miss only four regular-season games. That's an aggressive timeline, though possible based on Shams Charania's report.
Sarr will, however, miss the Rising Stars event Friday. He was supposed to play on team T-Mac in the event. Despite missing the festivities, Sarr plans to attend All-Star weekend. The NBA announced Wizards guard Bub Carrington as Sarr's replacement in the Rising Stars tournament.
