Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr will miss the remainder of EuroBasket due to a calf injury. France ruled Sarr out of the remainder of the competition after he suffered the injury on August 30.
Sarr is expected to be ready for the start of the NBA season. The injury will not require surgery for the second-year player.
A starter for the Wizards, Sarr was coming off the bench for France at EuroBasket. In two games, the 7-footer had averaged 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and a block in 19.5 minutes per game.
A rookie with Washington, Sarr averaged 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. The second overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft was named to the All-Rookie first team following the season. Sarr finished fourth in Rookie of the Year voting.
