"Unfortunately, both scenarios deemed true with the recent updates from EuroBasket. For starters, Sarr has been ruled out for the remainder of EuroBasket play after suffering a calf injury against Slovenia. The 7-footer will be forced to take his time during this recovery process, especially with the growing concerns how how nagging a calf injury can be if mismanaged during recovery."
"Washington's young core started off the offseason prioritizing development by competing in the NBA Summer League. At least most of the team's young players did, excluding the likes of Bilal Coulibaly and newly acquired Cam Whitmore. Alex Sarr suited up in Summer League and in the few games he did play for the Wizards, the big man showed plenty of promise and flashes of growth that Washington's front office and fanbase could be excited about heading into next season."
"The idea sounded good, but the extra time playing against competitive competition increased the chance that the Wizards young duo could be dealt a setback such as an injury or lackluster play that could impact their confidence heading into next season.

Washington Wizards roster features a young core with several international prospects pursuing offseason development. Most young players participated in the NBA Summer League, while Bilal Coulibaly and Cam Whitmore did not. Alex Sarr played in Summer League and showed promise and growth in limited games. Sarr joined France's national team for EuroBasket but suffered a calf injury and was ruled out for the remainder of play, creating uncertainty about his preseason availability. Coulibaly has struggled offensively for France and fouled out after nine total minutes, raising concerns about his aggressiveness and confidence. Both outcomes complicate development and roster planning heading into the season.
