Sarr, 20, was a late addition to Washington’s injury report and was held out of the team’s 138-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. He will miss the Castrol Rising Stars game this Friday and be re-evaluated in two weeks.

The second-year center is likely to miss at least five games during that stretch: vs. Pacers, vs. Pacers, vs. Hornets, @ Hawks, @ Hawks.

Sarr is one of three players averaging at least 17 points, seven rebounds and two blocks this season. His 2.0 blocks per game ranks second in the NBA, trailing only Victor Wembanyama’s 2.7.

With Sarr sidelined and Anthony Davis still recovering from a left finger sprain, Tristan Vukcevic is Washington’s lone healthy center. The 22-year-old will likely start in Sarr’s place until he returns from injury.
