WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Sarr of the Washington Wizards is expected to miss Friday's Rising Stars event at All-Star weekend because of a strained hamstring.
The Wizards said Thursday that Sarr will still join Washington teammates Kyshawn George and Tre Johnson for the festivities in Los Angeles, but the approximate recovery time for the injury is two weeks.
The 7-foot Sarr is averaging 17.2 points and 7.8 rebounds a game in his second NBA season after being picked No. 2 in the 2024 draft. He's also second in the league with 2.0 blocks per game.
Washington returns from the break next Thursday with a home game against Indiana.
