“In New York tonight, Wizards coach Brian Keefe told reporters that Alex Sarr and Khris Middleton will not play tonight. Both are ramping up to game condition, but Sarr is getting close to playing soon. Tristan Vukčević (hip impingement) and Jamir Watkins (ACL recovery) are also out.”
Sarr sits tonight while recovering from a fractured foot despite progressing to 5-on-5 work and live drills.
“Alex Sarr (foot) is OUT tonight, per Brian Keefe. Sarr has progressed to 5-on-5 work and live drills as he recovers from a fractured foot, but not to the point where he’ll return just yet. Khris Middleton is also out.”
Sarr can chase blocks more aggressively with Davis behind him to rebound.
“Once you get past me, you've got AD on the back, and the other way around … He'll allow me to be more aggressive in pursuing blocks, knowing I have someone to rebound the ball.”
Sarr likes the defensive length and versatility with Davis and Davis drawing attention inside-out.
“Just the length we have defensively, the versatility we've got. Him being able to draw a lot of attention, playing inside-out.”
