Earlier this week, former NBA player Jason Collins died at the age of 47 after a battle with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. He played 13 years in the NBA, including part of the 2012-13 season for the Washington Wizards where he played six games. While he was with the Wizards, Collins announced that […]
The 2026 NBA Draft Lottery is the latest example of big stuff happening with the Washington Wizards when I’m traveling or heavily scheduled and unable to write or talk about the news. If I’m on an airplane, you can count on the Wizards making a trade or getting a piece of major news. It feels […]
The Utah Jazz are looking to trade up to the No. 1 draft position up from No. 2 in the 2026 NBA Draft. And former Brigham Young star AJ Dybantsa is also open to staying in Utah, according to Sam Quinn of CBS Sports. Here is the “money quote.” CBS Sports’ Adam Finkelstein reported this week […]
Khris Middleton was shipped to the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards. Middleton’s inclusion was all about salary. His contract made the money work both ways, and more importantly for the Mavericks, expires this summer. That gives them the financial relief they need as […]

The Washington Wizards were one lottery ball away from landing Zion Williamson in 2019 and Cooper Flagg in 2025. In 2023, Washington held six of the possible 11 remaining numbers in the draft lottery before narrowly missing out on the No. 1 pick, which became Victor Wembanyama. But the franchise many called “cursed” after its […]
The Washington Wizards have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. That is a huge morale boost for the fans. And yet … the organization is willing to make moves with that pick, including trading down that very pick, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report and The Stein Line. It’s important to […]
Sunday’s NBA draft lottery provided a bit of a surprise and some unfortunate good luck for the Clippers, who saw the Thunder not jump into the top four while also having the Pacers slip, resulting in the other LA team picking fifth. The Wizards secured the top pick, a familiar place for an Anthony Davis […]
In what has a chance to be one of the most important nights in Jazz history, the Utah Jazz jumped in the NBA Lottery to the #2 spot for the upcoming NBA draft. Here are the final results, which show all the movement. Aside from it being a massive night for the Wizards, Jazz, Grizzlies, […]
The Washington Wizards won the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. This the fifth time in franchise history where Washington has won the top pick. After finishing the 2025-26 season with an NBA-worst 17-65 record, Washington finally got rewarded with the top pick in a very deep draft class. BYU forward AJ Dybantsa […]

The Utah Jazz (No. 2), Memphis Grizzlies (No. 3), Chicago Bulls (No. 4) and Los Angeles Clippers (No. 5, via the Pacers) round out the top five. Additionally, the LA Clippers’ own pick entered […]
The Washington Wizards’ second most productive player last season was someone they acquired with a 10-day contract in Febuary of 2024. A couple weeks later, they signed him to a two-way deal. A calendar year later, they signed him to a four-year $10 million contract with a team option on the final season. I’m talking […]
It’s all coming full circle for the Washington Wizards. John Wall, the franchise’s No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, will represent the Wizards at Sunday’s NBA Draft Lottery. The 35-year-old retired in August after a decorated career that included nine seasons as Washington’s star point guard. Wall departed the Wizards as the […]
Anyone claiming to know what Bilal Coulibaly will be is either lying or delusional. Through three NBA seasons, one number stands out: 68. That’s how many games he’s missed — 27.6% of Wizards games since they traded up to draft him seventh overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. A few other numbers jump off the […]
The NBA draft lottery, an event that places the league’s 14 non-playoff teams into a lottery based on their regular-season record, is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday. After a brief preshow on ESPN, NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum will stroll across the stage and gradually reveal envelopes containing the logos of the teams that will […]
The most important development of the Washington Wizards 2025-26 season — that didn’t involve losing — was the improvement of Alex Sarr. In his age 20 season, the big man did virtually everything better than he did in his rookie year. He scored more and on significantly better efficiency. He grabbed more rebounds, produced more […]
Former Washington Wizards star John Wall will become the President of Basketball Operations at Howard University in Washington, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Wall, who is currently a studio analyst for Amazon Prime Video’s NBA coverage, has expressed interest in being a front office leader later in his career. He has also worked with […]
Welcome to our Wizards player review series. We’ll go through each guy that played meaningful minutes and look back on their season. Here’s Julian Reese. The last games of the Wizards’ season were a testing ground for borderline NBA talent. Nobody else made quite the impression that Julian Reese did, at least on the scoresheet. […]
The Washington Wizards have completed Year 3 of their rebuild, ending a “deconstruction phase” that included countless trades, six first-round picks and 196 losses. General Manager Will Dawkins said the team will “try to compete” next season, but hesitated to provide greater expectations. It appears Washington will use the 2026-27 season as an evaluation year, […]
Brin Keefe will return as Wizards head coach next season, General Manager Will Dawkins announced during his end-of-season press conference on Thursday. The Wizards have gone 43-160 and tallied four separate 16-game losing streaks during Keefe’s tenure, which began in January 2024. Keefe’s .212 winning percentage is the worst by a head coach with at […]
And just like that, the 2025-26 NBA regular season has come to an end. It’s been one of the weirder years in league history. We started with a tree-planting controversy in pre-season, to the tanking and 65-game rule discourse hitting overdrive, and most recently, the entire Wizards organization almost got cancelled for a misinterpreted April […]
The Washington Wizards finished the 2025-26 season with a 17-65 record — the worst in the NBA — in Brian Keefe’s second full season as the team’s head coach. The record looks bad, but it’s what the organization wanted this season, and in season’s past, while under Keefe’s leadership. Keefe owns a 43-160 record in […]
With a 130-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Washington Wizards close out the 2025-26 season with 17 wins. This means they now go down in history as just the third team ever to win fewer than 20 wins in three consecutive seasons. The first to do it was the expansion Vancouver Grizzlies, which didn’t […]
Nae’Qwan Tomlin scored 26 points, Tyrese Proctor added 22 off the bench, and the Cleveland Cavaliers wrapped up the regular season with a 130-117 victory over the visiting Washington Wizards. With nearly every starter sitting out the finale to prepare for the postseason, Cleveland’s bench and G League players paced the team to its 52nd […]
The Brooklyn Nets have officially drawn their cards. With they and the Indiana Pacers ending their regular seasons this evening, they’ve locked in their position for the 2026 NBA Draft lottery. Out-tanked this year by only the Pacers and the Washington Wizards, the Nets will have the third best odds to land a higher pick […]
