Alex Sarr One of Four Wizards Ruled Questionable vs. Houston

After two days of rest, the Washington Wizards will look to end their six game losing streak when they face the Houston Rockets at Capital One Arena on Sunday night, marking the first meeting between the two teams this season. Yet the availability of the Wizards' rotation is undecided ahead of tipoff with four ruled questionable on the initial injury report.

The Wizards ruled guards Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson, along with center Alex Sarr and two-way forward Felix Okpara all questionable ahead of Sunday night. Carrington is battling a chest/sternum contusion, while Johnson is dealing with low back soreness. With Okpara's designation pointing to his two-way signing, Sarr is questionable due to illness.

Sarr will look to return to action after his first 30 point game since his rookie season, doing so while draining all ten shots from the field, including all four attempts from three, in regulation. It marked an encouraging performance for the third-year center after opening the season still getting back into rhythm after foot surgery derailed his offseason.

Carrington narrowly leads the team over Kyshawn George in three point shooting, but is averaging 4.8 points and two assists over 18 minutes per game. Over his last three games, Carrington has recorded six total points while shooting 16.7% from the field and 12.5% from three. Carrington also owns the NBA's third longest active streak after appearing in 177 consecutive games ahead of Sunday night.

Tre Johnson is averaging under ten points per game across 23.5 minutes, though shooting just 36.4% from the field and 24.2% from three in a concerning start to the season, a part of the reason why Washington's bench scoring has been largely absent. After missing all 13 of his three point attempts in the road losses against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Detroit Pistons, Johnson has since shot just 3-of-13 from distance yet notched consecutive double figure scoring games ahead of Sunday night.

The quartet of questionable destinations join Reece Beekman, Justin Champagnie, Jamir Watkins and Tristan Vukcevic as the Wizards on the injury report. The Rockets, meanwhile, will be without center Clint Capella, guards Marcus Smart and Fred VanVleet, along with two-way signings Quadir Copeland and Julian Phillips. Veteran center Steven Adams is listed as probable due to right soleus strain. Houston has won its last three games all by ten points or less and enter the meeting sitting at 10-3 overall.
