Alex Sarr's True Shooting Falls to 37.0% Over Last 5
The Wizards center's shooting efficiency has dropped 17.3 points below his season mark, with 5 games to explain why.
Alex Sarr is shooting 37.0% true shooting over his last 5 games. That is down 17.3 points from his season mark of 54.4%, set across 48 games in 2025-26. These numbers run through March 27, 2026, the date of the Wizards' most recent game.
A drop of this size, in a stretch this short, points to a rough patch rather than a change in who Sarr is as a player. His season numbers, 16.3 points and 27.2 minutes a game, describe a rotation piece with real offensive role. True shooting folds in free throws and three-pointers along with twos, so a slide this sharp usually means missed looks from distance, missed free throws, or both, piling up over five games.
For the slump to end, Sarr needs his shot selection and touch to return to the pattern that produced his 54.4% mark over 48 games. If his efficiency stays near 37.0% into the next stretch of games, it stops looking like a bad week and starts looking like a real second-half problem for Washington. If it climbs back toward his season average, this becomes a five-game blip and nothing more.
Either way, the next few Wizards games will show which version of Sarr's efficiency is the real one: the season-long 54.4%, or the cold five-game stretch that just brought him to 37.0%.
