Overview

  • The team announced Thursday that Sarr has a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated after roughly two weeks.
  • Sarr will not play in Friday’s Rising Stars game, with Wizards guard Bub Carrington named as his replacement and Utah rookie Ace Bailey replacing Cooper Flagg.
  • He sat out recent games in Brooklyn and Cleveland due to hamstring tightness before the All-Star break.
  • The 20-year-old second pick is averaging 17.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks across 41 games in a strong sophomore campaign.
  • With Anthony Davis still unavailable, Tristan Vukcevic is positioned to start at center, and Sarr is likely to miss about five games based on the schedule.
