The NBA Cavaliers page listed Sarr on July 18, while the league's free-agency/options tracker showed his contract status had expired. This is why the team page treats the official roster feed as an identity list rather than a contract ledger. Cavaliers roster Β· NBA options and qualifying offers

Durability: Ruptured his Achilles in the G League Finals on April 15, 2024, and missed the entire 2024-25 season rehabbing. Returned via Raptors 905 in 2025-26 before Cleveland signed him to a two-way on March 3, 2026 (4 NBA games). Only 50 NBA games across five calendar years β€” the gaps are roster status and the Achilles, not recurring soft-tissue issues. Trajectory: The record shows a fringe stretch-center whose best sample (2021-22 OKC: 7.0 PPG, 4.2 RPG, .574 FG% in 19 minutes) predates a ruptured Achilles, with steadily shrinking roles since. Now 27 and a free agent, he competes in 2026-27 simply for an NBA contract β€” likely a two-way or third-center deal wherever he lands. He becomes fantasy-relevant only if he secures a guaranteed roster spot and injuries hand him 15-18 minutes, at which point he is a short-term blocks/rebounds streamer in deep leagues.
