Alex Sarr will miss his fifth consecutive game due to left big toe capsulitis, per team reports. The injury has sidelined him since late last week, following an offseason workout.
Vukčević played just 11 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, creating a potential opening in the starting lineup. His absence may lead to increased minutes for other players.
Julian Reese and Anthony Gill are among the potential replacements for Sarr. Reese played 36 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, while Gill scored a career-high 21 points in Wednesday's game.
Sarr's injury has forced the Wizards to rely on other options at center. The team will look to determine the best fit for the starting lineup as the season progresses.
Sarr is expected to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, according to reports. However, his recovery timeline remains uncertain, and he will miss at least one more game.
The Wizards have faced challenges at the center position this season, with multiple players sidelined due to injuries. The team will need to manage its depth carefully as the season continues.
