Washington Wizards rookie Alex Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft, enjoyed another solid preseason game on Wednesday.
Sarr finished with 12 points, nine rebounds, three blocks and three assists at the New York Knicks. Three days earlier, he had 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting, four rebounds and three assists versus the Toronto Raptors.
The Wizards didn't fare well either time, losing 117-94 to New York and 125-98 to Toronto. But it's clear that Sarr is a bright spot with an exciting future.
There weren't meany highlights for Washington, but Sarr provided one with a smooth backdoor cut leading to a slam dunk.
