Wizards' Alex Sarr: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Sarr (adductor) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game in Charlotte.
Sarr sat out Sunday's game, which came as the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night, which will likely shift Tristan Vukcevic back to the second unit. It'll be interesting to see if Sarr, who has been limited to minutes in the mid-20s since his return, will be able to sniff closer to 30 minutes in his third game back.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
Sarr (adductor) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Sarr recently had an extended absence with a right adductor injury, so the Wizards are exercising caution on the second half of their back-to-back.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Returning Thursday
Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) is off the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Sarr is set to return Thursday from a six-game absence due to a right adductor strain. His return means Marvin Bagley -- who has started in the Wizards' last six games -- will likely revert to a rotational role, though he could still have meaningful playing time off the bench if Sarr's minutes are capped.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Out again Thursday
Rotowire
Sarr (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
Thursday will mark the third consecutive game on the sidelines for Sarr, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tip-off.

Rotowire
Sarr (adductor), who won't play Monday against the Bucks, will remain out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Head coach Brian Keefe said that Sarr's sore right adductor isn't a major concern, so the second-year big man could have a realistic chance at playing Thursday versus the Celtics. With Sarr out of action Monday and Tuesday, Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic should split the minutes at center.
