Wizards' Alexandre Sarr Out for Remainder of EuroBasket Due to Calf Injury

Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr will miss the remainder of EuroBasket 2025 due to a left calf injury sustained during France's victory over Slovenia. French and Wizards officials have confirmed that while Sarr will not undergo surgery, his recovery time rules him out for the rest of the tournament. Despite this setback, Sarr is expected to be ready for the start of the NBA regular season on October 22. The 20-year-old, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, had a promising rookie season, averaging 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game, and earning All-Rookie first team honors. France’s frontcourt has been significantly impacted by injuries, with other key players like Rudy Gobert and Victor Wembanyama also unavailable, putting more responsibility on remaining players. Sarr's injury might affect the Wizards’ training camp preparations, but the timeline suggests he should recover in time for the season opener.
