Sarr, Carrington Make Wizards All-Rookie History

Washington Wizards rookies Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington made franchise history by both earning NBA All-Rookie honors in the 2024-25 season, the first time in over 60 years two Wizards have achieved this in the same year. Sarr, selected second overall, was named to the All-Rookie First Team, averaging 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game. Carrington, the No. 14 pick, was named to the Second Team, led all rookies in minutes played, averaged 9.8 points, 4.4 assists, and 4.2 rebounds, and set a franchise record for three-pointers by a rookie. He also earned the Dr. E.B. Henderson Team Award for leadership and community involvement and played in the NBA Rising Stars Game. The Wizards are building a promising young core, and with two more first-round picks in the upcoming draft, they hope to continue their progress despite missing out on top lottery positions this year. This youthful resurgence is viewed as a positive step for the franchise's future.
