Alex Sarr to Sit Out Second Consecutive Summer League Game for Rest

Alex Sarr will sit out his second consecutive Las Vegas Summer League game on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz due to rest purposes. This decision comes after an impressive performance on July 13 against the Nets, where Sarr recorded 16 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, and a Summer League record eight blocks in 29 minutes, nearly achieving a triple-double. It remains uncertain if Sarr, who signed a two-year contract with the Wizards in July 2024, will play again during the Las Vegas Summer League. As he heads into his second NBA season, the No. 2 overall pick from the 2024 NBA Draft, who earned an All-Rookie First Team selection after averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.5 blocks in 67 games, is expected to have a significant role in the Washington Wizards' frontcourt.
