Alex Sarr, the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, had a promising start to the season, averaging 13.8 points in December. However, struggles with three-point shooting and an ankle injury set back his performance in January and February. His return in a recent game against the Charlotte Hornets helped the Wizards secure a win, but they still linger near the bottom of the standings. Coach Brian Keefe praised Sarr's defensive presence and ability to stretch the floor, while the team faces critical games ahead for improving their lottery odds.
"I liked [Sarr's] activity. He's a presence out there for us, and we obviously can see the stuff he does defensively, but just his ability to stretch the floor, drag their bigs out, it makes them do different coverages..." Coach Brian Keefe on Sarr's impact returning from injury.
"Saturday's win didn't hurt the Wizards' lottery odds - they remain three games behind Charlotte and four behind the Utah Jazz, which they'll face at home Wednesday..." detailing the Wizards' outlook and upcoming matches.
