Alex Sarr moved from out to day-to-day with a left knee issue on the Tuesday injury report, and his expected return is Wednesday's game against the Hawks. If he can't go, the Wizards would lean on the same rotation that beat Orlando without him.
What happened
Alex Sarr is listed as day-to-day with a left knee issue on the injury report posted at 12:53 AM ET on Tuesday, Nov. 3. He had been out on Monday, Nov. 2, after being listed day-to-day on Sunday, Nov. 1. The report's comment on the Orlando game read: "Sarr (knee) is out for Monday's game against Orlando." The report gives Nov. 4 as his expected return, the date of the Wizards' next game. The 21-year-old center was cleared from an earlier day-to-day tag, for a right foot issue, on Oct. 10.
What it means for the Wizards
Washington plays the Hawks on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7:00 PM ET. The Wizards are 4-3, the 5th seed, and have won two straight. In six games Sarr has averaged 25.4 minutes, 9.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists. The team is 3-3 with him and 1-0 without him. In the game he missed, Trae Young played 36.1 minutes, Anthony Davis 33.5, Kyshawn George 32.3 and AJ Dybantsa 30.0. Bilal Coulibaly played 27.3 minutes and Tre Johnson 20.9. Justin Champagnie, who played 18.3 minutes in that game, is now out with a right foot issue.
What to watch
The next injury report comes before Wednesday's game against the Hawks, and it should settle whether Sarr plays. His status is day-to-day, so it is not confirmed. The report's expected return date is Nov. 4. No longer timeline is announced. Anthony Gill is also day-to-day with a back issue. Reece Beekman, Tristan Vukcevic, Champagnie and Jamir Watkins are all out, which thins the Wizards' options if Sarr sits again.
