Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr has sustained a right hamstring strain and will miss approximately two weeks, the team announced Thursday. Sarr, one of three players averaging at least 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game this season, will miss Friday's Rising Stars game. He did not play in the Wizards' 138-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday with what the team called right hamstring tightness.
The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend is heading to the sunny beach town of Los Angeles this year. And despite how well Josh Giddey played this season, it looked like the Bulls wouldn't have any representation. Or so we thought, until the NBA announced Matas Buzelis as a participant in the Rising Stars Game, which takes place on All-Star Friday. This will be Matas Buzelis' second appearance in the Rising Stars Game as a Chicago Bull after playing on Team Mitch last season.
