    Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr.

    Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Bronny James isn't the only rookie struggling at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

    Washington Wizards rookie power forward Alex Sarr had a historically ugly performance on Tuesday night. His team lost to the Portland Trail Blazers, and he shot 0-for-15 and scored 0 points.

    Sarr missed all seven of his three-point attempts and both of his free-throw attempts, committed five fouls and had three turnovers, but he did contribute nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks.

    According to an ESPN report , the No. 2 overall pick from France recorded the most field goal attempts by a player without a make in Summer League history since at least 2017. The report added that if Tuesday had been a regular-season contest, the 15 misses without a make would've tied for the second-most in league history.

    Sarr competed last season with Perth in Western Australia in the NBL Next Stars program and is projected to play alongside Malcolm Brogdon, Jordan Poole, Kyle Kuzma and Jonas Valanciunas in the Wizards' starting five.

    The 19-year-old has posted 6.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game in three Summer League contests but has shot an abysmal 19.5% from the field.
