Olivier Sarr, a 27-year-old French basketball player standing 2.08 meters tall, has struggled to secure a consistent role with Real Madrid in the Euroleague and Liga Endesa this season. He has played just 16 minutes across three matches, and was not included in the 12-player squad for two recent games against Anadolu Efes and Hapoël Tel-Aviv. Sarr signed with Real Madrid on August 15 for a two-season deal, having previously played in the NCAA at Wake Forest and Kentucky, and in the NBA G League with Oklahoma City and Cleveland. He has appeared in 50 games in the NBA, averaging 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds, though mostly in the G League. This season marks his first time competing in top-tier European basketball. Sarr made his Euroleague debut on September 24 during Real Madrid's 78-77 loss in Dubai. In 4 minutes and 8 seconds, he scored 4 points—1 from two-pointers and 2 from free throws—and grabbed 2 rebounds. However, he was not listed in the next two matches, which Real Madrid lost to Anadolu Efes in Istanbul (94-84) and Hapoël Tel-Aviv in Sofia (102-98). Real Madrid has now suffered three consecutive losses in the Euroleague, their worst start in the competition's history. In the Liga Endesa, where Real Madrid has won its first two matches, Sarr's playing time has remained limited. He played 3 minutes and 46 seconds during the 89-87 victory against Unicaja on September 27, recording 0 points, 1 rebound, and a -2 points evaluation. He then played 8 minutes and 6 seconds in the 107-114 loss to Obradoiro, scoring 0 points, grabbing 1 rebound, and earning a -3 points evaluation. At the center position, Real Madrid coach Pedro Martínez has primarily relied on Walter Tavares, who has played between 21 and 27 minutes in each of the three Euroleague matches. Damian Jones, who joined the team on August 28, has also been used as a second center in European games, scoring 10 points in nearly 15 minutes in Dubai, and playing over 8 minutes in the losses to Anadolu Efes and Hapoël Tel-Aviv. Real Madrid had been seeking two interior players to support Tavares, as Usman Garuba continues his recovery from an Achilles tendon injury sustained during the Final Four. Sarr has three upcoming opportunities to make an impact: a home game against Partizan Belgrade on Thursday, October 8, at Movistar Arena for the 4th round of the Euroleague; a Liga Endesa match against Manresa on Sunday, October 11; and an away game in Milan on Tuesday, October 13.
