Washington Wizards forward Alex Sarr, the 2nd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is likely done for the season due to a toe injury, according to head coach Brian Keefe. Sarr has missed the team's last 6 games with capsulitis, an inflammation, in his left big toe.

Why it matters

Sarr was expected to be a key part of the Wizards' young core this season after being a high draft pick. His extended absence due to the toe injury is a significant setback for the team as they try to build momentum and make a playoff push.

The details

The 7-foot Sarr has been sidelined for the Wizards' last 6 games with the toe issue. Coach Keefe said it is 'probably unlikely' that Sarr is able to return before the end of the season given the short amount of time remaining.

  • Sarr has missed the Wizards' last 6 games.
  • The Wizards' season is scheduled to end in mid-April 2026.
