Wizards' Alex Sarr sets NBA Summer League record with eight blocks

LAS VEGAS — As rookie guard Tre Johnson put it, the Washington Wizards felt like they got 'punked' in their NBA Summer League opener, a disappointing blowout loss in which their coach said they lacked the required physicality. Sunday night's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets offered a chance to respond, a point second-year wing Kyshawn George emphasized ahead of time. The Wizards set the tone in a morning shootaround, Johnson said, and maintained it in a 102-96 win at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center.

Rookie Kyshawn George brings ‘that fire' on defense for the Wizards

The whistle sounded, indicating Kyshawn George had been assessed a shooting foul. The Washington Wizards wing looked to his team's bench and threw his palms up in apparent exasperation before letting his arms drop to his sides. Moments of frustration, as seen in that February matchup with Indiana, have been common for George, a 21-year-old rookie still striving to earn the benefit of the doubt from NBA referees. George is in the 12th percentile among wings in foul rate, per analytics site Cleaning the Glass. He has committed three or more fouls in more than 60 percent of his games.
