Alex Sarr was cleared Saturday, coming off Washington's injury report after being listed day-to-day. He is available for the Wizards' season opener against the Pistons at 7:00 PM ET.
What happened
The Wizards' injury report listed Alex Sarr as cleared at 5:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 10, removing him from the day-to-day designation he had carried since Sept. 6, when he was listed day-to-day with a right foot and leg issue. The report gave no further detail on the clearance and included no comment. Sarr, a 21-year-old center, now carries no designation on the injury report heading into Washington's opener against the Pistons.
What it means for the Wizards
Sarr is in line to play in Washington's season opener against the Pistons at 7:00 p.m. ET Saturday, with the Wizards at 0-0 since the 2026-27 season has not started. Last season he averaged 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 27.2 minutes over 48 games. Without him on the floor last season, Washington turned to Julian Reese (30.9 minutes, 11.8 points) and CJ McCollum (30.9 minutes, 18.8 points) among others to cover the frontcourt load. There is no record with or without him yet, since no regular-season games have been played this season.
What to watch
The next injury report will confirm Sarr's status for Washington's following games; no return timetable is needed since he was cleared rather than ruled out. Khris Middleton and Tre Mann remain day-to-day on the same report, while Tristan Vukcevic and Jamir Watkins are out. The opener against Detroit is the first game of the Wizards' season.
