Washington Wizards rookie big man Alex Sarr had a historically poor showing in Tuesday night's loss to the  Portland Trail Blazers at Las Vegas Summer League, finishing with 0 points on 0 of 15 shooting.

It's the most field goal attempts by a player without a make in a Summer League game since at least 2017, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. If it were a regular-season game, Sarr's 15 field goal attempts without a make would be tied for the second-most in NBA history.

The No. 2 pick in last month's NBA draft, Sarr also finished the night with 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in just under 30 minutes. He missed all seven of his 3-point attempts and both his free throws. 

Sarr, 19, is averaging 6.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in three Las Vegas Summer League games and while he's made an impact on the defensive end, averaging 3 blocks, he's consistently struggled to score efficiently. Sarr has shot below 35% in all three of his game in Las Vegas and is shooting 19.5% from the field overall. 

The 19-year-old from France spent last season in Western Australia with Perth as part of the NBL's Next Stars program.
