Rookie Alexandre Sarr makes Wizards history after career performance
Rookie Alexandre Sarr makes Wizards history after career performance JORDAN POOLE WINS IT FROM WAY DOWNTOWN 🤯😱🚨 — NBA (@NBA) March 16, 2025 Alexandre Sarr finished with a career high in scoring and etched his name in the franchise history books to lead the Washington Wizards to a win over the Denver Nuggets. Sarr produced 34 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one blocked shot in the 126-123 victory at Ball Arena. He went 12-of-28 from the field, including 5-of-9 from 3-point range, in nearly 32 minutes as the Wizards improved to 6-4 over their last 10 games. The No. 2 pick became the youngest player in franchise history to score at least 30 points in a game (19 years, 323 days). He is the seventh rookie to reach that mark this season. "He was great, obviously," Wizards coach Brian Keefe said. "I love that Alex just went out there and played his game. He was aggressive and attacked, his teammates were able to find him. He made some big shots late -- a terrific game by him." Sarr scored 24 points alone in the first half, becoming the first Wizards rookie to do so since Jordan Crawford had 26 on March 30, 2011. He showcased everything on offense in the contest, from working in the paint to stepping out and hitting from beyond the arc. The Frenchman helped keep the Wizards within striking distance after trailing 72-63 at halftime. The team responded by outscoring the Nuggets 63-51 over the last two quarters, capped off by Jordan Poole's 35-foot go-ahead 3-pointer with 2.8 seconds left. Sarr continued a strong March with the performance after finishing in double figures for the sixth time in eight games. He is posting 15.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, three assists and 1.5 blocks on 37.2% shooting from 3-point range in the month. The 7-footer is averaging 12.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 blocks on 39.2% shooting from the field in 51 games this season with the Wizards. He is fourth in the rookie class in scoring and rebounding, and 15th among all players in the league in blocked shots (79). Sarr and the Wizards are amid their best stretch of the season. With 16 games remaining, the group will look to finish the year strong to build momentum into the summer. "I feel like just keeping the momentum rolling (is what we want to do)," Sarr said. "I feel like as a team over the last 10 games, we've been doing great. Just keep that going."

Wizards' Brian Keefe provides injury update on Alexandre Sarr
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Washington Wizards rookie Alexandre Sarr was a late scratch from the lineup on Sunday against the Orlando Magic after reaggravating a left ankle sprain, coach Brian Keefe said. Sarr missed eight games from Jan. 29-Feb. 10 with the injury and was eventually cleared to play in the Wizards' last game before the All-Star break on Feb. 12. He tweaked it on Friday in a 104-101 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at Capital One Arena. The No. 2 pick was initially listed as questionable to play against the Magic but was ruled out of playing on Sunday afternoon. Keefe isn't certain how much time Sarr could potentially miss. "I don't know a timeline on it yet," Keefe said. Sarr is averaging 11.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 blocks on 39.4% shooting from the field in 43 appearances. He is third in the rookie class in blocked shots (67) -- and 15th among all players -- and is fourth in rebounding and double-doubles (6). The 7-footer was the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month in December after leading all first-year players in 3-point percentage (45.5). He was among 10 rookies who competed in the Rising Stars Game and also participated in the Skills Challenge at All-Star Weekend. Sarr is among a crowded draft class for the Wizards, joining fellow first-round picks Bub Carrington, AJ Johnson and Kyshawn George. They are the first team since the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2021-22 season to have three separate rookies average at least 25 minutes per game.
