Still at home, the Wizards lost again this Tuesday evening, which has become a habit in recent weeks. A reason for hope? Alex Sarr’s match, the only one to satisfy the supporters.
2 victories, 14 defeats including 12 in a row: this is the new catastrophic record of the Wizards to begin this exercise NBA. The franchise can count on Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma, but the two veterans are far from having a great campaign at the moment. A trade during the season would no longer be surprising at this point.
For now, fans must manage this period as best as possible and hope that the organization recovers a big draft choice in June, if possible the first. This would allow the front office to draft nugget Cooper Flagg, who is already making sparks on the Duke side. And his trio with Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr would certainly be interesting to Wizards.
The series continues for the Wizards
But that won’t be for several months. For the moment, Washington has a series of defeats, like this Tuesday evening against the Bulls with a score of 127-108. Coulibaly did not have a big match with 8 points at 3/11 shooting, while Poole was not present, unlike Sarr. And the Frenchman made some noise.

Still starting under the leadership of Brian Keefe, Sarr finished with 31 minutes of play for 20 points at 4/5 from three points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. A great performance for the second choice from the last draft, who continues to find his feet in the NBA. This has been the case for several weeks and it’s obviously nice to see.
We imagine that Sarr would like to take a few victories but we will have to be patient. However, if he continues to play like this, there is no doubt that the supporters will already have a little more smiles. On X, the reactions have flowed and confidence reigns.
@Domo8186 : “Not too late to cancel your outings after Summer League…”
@ravenwizardd : “He is starting to feel comfortable and confident. Keep giving him 30 minutes per game or more and we have our rookie of the year. »
@DubstepPhene82 : “He’s really been a great draft pick so far. »
@CamMingo : “Wizards fans owe him an apology after what they said following Summer League. »
Alex Sarr shone for the Wizards, with a good line of stats upon arrival for the Frenchman, increasingly at ease across the Atlantic. Who knows, he could even create a surprise with a rookie of the year title at the end.
