Jun 26, 2024; Brooklyn, NY, USA; Alexandre Sarr shakes hands with NBA commissioner Adam Silver after being selected second overall by the Washington Wizards in the first round in the 2024 NBA Draft at Barclays Center. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, went through some growing pains on Tuesday night in a Las Vegas Summer League game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Sarr didn’t score in 30 minutes of action, going 0-for-15 from the field and 0-for-7 from 3-point range. ESPN Stats & Information discovered it was the most field-goal attempts without a basket in Summer League action since at least 2017. He also shot 0-for-2 at the foul line.
Despite the putrid shooting display, Sarr did haul in nine rebounds while dishing out three assists and blocking three shots in Washington’s 82-80 loss.
In three Summer League games, Sarr has averaged 6.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 blocks. He is shooting just 19.5 percent overall and 11.8 percent from deep.
The Wizards are 1-2 in Las Vegas.
