Washington Wizards forward Alex Sarr underwent surgery to repair a fractured right foot on Monday, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Sarr, 21, suffered the injury during an offseason workout last week but is expected to return by the start of the 2026-27 season.
Depending on the severity, foot fractures typically require 6-to-8 weeks for the bone to knit together, according to Royal United Hospitals. That said, it could take anywhere from 3-to-6 months to regain full strength in the foot and return to high-impact physical activities.
The 7-foot big man averaged 16.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in what was a breakout sophomore season. Sarr raised his field goal percentage to 48.2% and shot a respectable 33% from three.
Sarr missed 34 games last season due to toe, hamstring and groin injuries. He projects as Washington’s starting center alongside Anthony Davis, who prefers to play power forward.
