‘Wiz-Kids’ offering Wizards fans hope during overseas tournaments

Washington Wizards

August is typically the slowest time of the year for NBA fans, but the Washington Wizards’ faithful are spoiled this summer. 2023 No. 7 overall pick Bilal Coulibaly and 2024 No. 2 pick Alex Sarr have gotten minutes with France in the EuroBasket tournament, while 2024 No. 24 pick Kyshawn George competed for Canada in the FIBA AmeriCup. Sarr sustained a calf injury on Saturday that will keep him out for the rest of the competition, but he was productive in both games he played. The seven-foot, 205-pounder notched seven points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3 PT) with four rebounds in 17 minutes against Belgium on Thursday before tallying 12 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3PT) with five rebounds, two blocks, and one steal across 22 minutes against Slovenia on Saturday.
