Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr underwent surgery on Monday to repair a fractured right foot, according to sources via ESPN. The procedure follows an injury sustained during a contact play during an offseason workout late last week.
Despite the surgery, Sarr is currently expected to be fully healthy and available for the start of the upcoming NBA season. The young big man is a focal point of the Wizards' rotation, and his availability for the regular season is a positive sign for the organization following the injury scare.
The incident took place during a routine offseason training session. Per Shams Charania of ESPN, the fractured foot required immediate attention to ensure a full recovery before training camp begins. Sarr will now transition into a rehabilitation program under the supervision of the Wizards' medical staff.
The Wizards are looking to Sarr to provide a defensive presence and versatility in the frontcourt this year. Further updates regarding his recovery timeline and participation in preseason activities are expected as the team evaluates his progress in the coming weeks.
