Sarr sat out Sunday’s matchup with Israel, and he won’t play again in Eurobasket this year. It’s unknown how severe the injury is, but Sarr and his camp have decided that it’s best for him to sit out the remainder of the tournament ahead of next month’s NBA training camp. Sarr will look to take a second-year leap after a productive rookie campaign, and fantasy managers should keep an eye on his health ahead of 2025-26 drafts.

Sarr had a solid performance to help France move to 2-0 in EuroBasket. This was a better performance after he only scored seven points in Thursday’s victory over Belgium. France has used a balanced rotation thus far, so Sarr only played 22 minutes, but he was able to make an impact during his time on the floor, especially on defense.

After a decent performance in his summer league opener on Friday, Sarr was outstanding on Sunday against the Nets. The rim protection was elite, with the second-year center blocking eight shots and changing a few others, and he also hit double digits in rebounds. While there are still some issues with Sarr finishing through contact, he’s trending in the right direction after a solid rookie season. He should be selected in all drafts, as Sarr is a lock to be in the starting lineup.

Sarr’s fantasy value has not been great recently, with the rookie ranking as a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’s been even worse in nine-cat, as the 2.8 turnovers per game have been problematic. Sarr committed four turnovers on Sunday, limiting his fantasy value in nine-cat formats. He and the Wizards play four games during Week 23, and the rookie should certainly be rostered in active leagues.

Yikes. March has been an excellent month for the rookie, but Sarr really struggled in his final game of the month. Field goal percentage hasn’t been a strong category for Sarr, but this performance was one of his worst and can only be rivaled by his 1-of-12 night in January. The rookie has shown plenty of upside in multiple categories, and he was still able to provide some defensive stats in this game. Still, the 19-year-old still has plenty of work to do before he becomes a fantasy star.

Sarr has scored at least 22 points with at least seven rebounds, at least one block and at least one steal in each of his last two games. While the Wizards are looking towards the future, Sarr is making a statement that he’s going to be a big part of it. The 19-year-old center has been just outside the top-100 in fantasy value since the All-Star break as his play has picked of late.

Sarr recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday, and the rookie continues progressing as his debut season winds down. Over the past two weeks, the 7-foot-1 big has offered top 50 value in eight-cat formats. And since the All-Star break, Sarr is ranked just outside the top 100. His name may not be mentioned in Rookie of the Year conversations, but the Wizards are likely encouraged by what they’ve seen from Sarr.

Though he wasn’t able to extend his streak of 20-point games to four straight contests, Sarr was able to record his third double-double of the month and the ninth of his young career. Rebounds haven’t been a strong category for Sarr as a rookie, which isn’t surprising for a floor spacing big. However, he has averaged 8.3 rebounds in 27.1 minutes per game over the last two weeks. It isn’t out of the question for Sarr to eventually average 10 rebounds per game, especially if he continues to play center.

Sarr has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games and now has seven games with 20 points in his rookie season. The 19-year-old center is starting to come into his own down the stretch of a lost season for the Wizards. Sarr has been a 10th-round player in eight-category leagues since the All-Star break. The future looks bright for Washington’s No. 2 overall pick from last year.

Things are starting to click for Sarr. After scoring a career-high 34 points on Saturday, he had the sixth 20-point game of his career on Monday. Four of those have come in his last 10 appearances. The No. 2 overall pick may not be in conversations for Rookie of the Year, but he is reminding the world of why he was such a coveted prospect last summer. He won’t turn 20 until after the season, but he is already showcasing elite talent in multiple areas of his game. Washington still has three more games this week for him to keep it up.

Sarr was outstanding in Denver, as he recorded a season-high point total and an overall line that many fantasy managers will be pleased with. Since the All-Star break, the rookie center/forward has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats. And that’s with Sarr shooting 39.1 percent from the field and 65.6 percent from the foul line. For fantasy managers punting field goal percentage, the rookie has been a seventh-round player since the break.

After scoring just eight points during Tuesday’s loss to Detroit, Sarr found more success on the offensive end in this game. He was also able to provide plenty of three-pointers and blocks, which is a combination that will make him dangerous in fantasy basketball for years to come. Washington is clicking at the wrong time, suddenly finding themselves with just a half-game lead over Utah for the worst record in the league. However, Sarr’s development should continue to be a priority for the Wizards for the rest of the season.

Sarr has struggled with his shooting lately as he’s made 36 percent or less of his field goal attempts in five of his last seven games. The 19-year-old center has had a double-double in each of his last two games, both coming against the Raptors. Sarr has blocked six shots over his last three games. He’s a reliable rebounder and a defensive presence, but the offensive efficiency isn’t there right now.

Sarr tied his career-high in rebounds while finishing with his seventh double-double of his rookie campaign. Toronto was steamrolled in the paint, as Bilal Coulibaly (18 points, 10 rebounds) and Richaun Holmes (10 points, 11 rebounds) posted double-doubles of their own. Sarr’s 5-of-16 shooting performance left much to be desired on offense, but fantasy managers will certainly take the boards.

Sarr returned from an ankle injury last Saturday and recorded 10 points in 26 minutes. The 19-year-old center appeared to be over the injury completely on Wednesday as he had 21 points in 29 minutes while filling up the stat line. Sarr’s backup Richaun Holmes was a DNP-CD in this one.

After missing three games with an ankle sprain, Sarr was back in the lineup against Charlotte. He didn’t have a great night, but it was good to see the rookie back on the floor, and he was able to play 26 minutes. Richaun Holmes, who had been starting in place of Sarr, played the other 22 minutes at center off the bench and contributed 15 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal. Holmes may be able to continue providing value even with Sarr back, though his upside will be limited as a reserve.

Sarr has missed the last three games with ankle injury and his status is once again up in the air for Saturday. Richaun Holmes had 20 points in 19 minutes in his last spot start with Sarr out. Holmes would be worth streaming in deeper formats if Sarr is out again Saturday.

Sarr will miss a third straight game, which means Richaun Holmes should remain with the first unit. Holmes has averaged 11 points, eight rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.5 blocks across 29.5 minutes over his last two starts.
