Wizards Backcourt and Sarr Shine in Win Over Nets Despite Big Night from Timme

The Washington Wizards pulled away late to defeat the Brooklyn Nets 112–96 in Summer League play, powered by standout performances from their young core. Bryce Carrington, Keyonte George, Tre Johnson, and Alex Sarr all impressed, while the Nets showcased flashes from Drew Timme, Egor Demin, Danny Wolf, and Noah Traore despite the loss.

Wizards’ Stars Lead the Way

Bryce Carrington was a model of efficiency, scoring 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting, knocking down 3-of-4 from deep and dishing out 6 assists. His poise as a secondary playmaker and floor spacer stood out all game.

Keyonte George stuffed the stat sheet with 10 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals, showcasing his versatility and defensive instincts. Despite shooting just 4-of-16, his impact went far beyond scoring.

Rookie Tre Johnson continued his hot streak, pouring in 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting, adding 3 rebounds and knocking down 2 threes. His ability to score at all three levels was on display from the opening tip.

And anchoring the interior, Alex Sarr delivered another monster two-way performance: 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 blocks. His rim protection and defensive presence were game-changing, as he controlled the paint and deterred the Nets’ drivers all night.

Nets’ Bright Spots

The Nets leaned heavily on Drew Timme, who turned in a game-high 30 points on 13-of-24 shooting, adding 5 rebounds and 3 assists. His polished post game and relentless motor kept Brooklyn within striking distance for most of the night.

Egor Demin contributed 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, showing his feel as a combo guard despite an inefficient shooting night (4-of-13). His passing vision remains a bright spot in his game.

In the frontcourt, Danny Wolf anchored the glass with 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks, showing his value as a defensive big and interior presence despite limited scoring.

Noah Traore added 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, contributing hustle plays and secondary playmaking, though he struggled with efficiency (3-of-10 shooting).

Scout’s Take

The Wizards’ trio of Johnson, Carrington, and George continue to show they can form a dynamic, well-rounded backcourt with Sarr anchoring the paint. All four look like players who could carve out rotation minutes sooner rather than later. For Brooklyn, Timme remains a highly skilled scorer in the post, while Wolf and Demin provide intriguing long-term potential on both ends.
