Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr underwent surgery to repair a fractured right foot, the team announced Monday. The injury occurred on a contact play during an offseason workout late last week. Sarr is expected to be healthy for the start of the season, according to the Wizards.
ESPN reported the announcement. Sarr, 21, was drafted second overall in the 2024 NBA draft and is entering his third season. 0 blocks per game while appearing in 48 games.
The injury comes as the Washington Wizards look to end a stretch in which they lost 64 or more games in each of the past three seasons. The team traded for Trae Young and Anthony Davis last season to accelerate the development of its young core that includes Sarr, Kyshawn George, Tre Johnson, Bub Carrington and Will Riley.
Washington hopes Young's passing and playmaking and Davis' presence will help Sarr thrive in his pivotal third season.
