The trading extravaganza leading up to 2023 NBA trade deadline saw many familiar faces return to familiar places. Included in that list is D’Angelo Russell, whom the Los Angeles Lakers acquired (along with Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt) in the long overdue Russell Westbrook trade.

The Portland Trail Blazers made a few moves prior to the trade deadline with an eye towards the future, sending former starting small forward Josh Hart to the New York Knicks for Cam Reddish and a first-rounder and dealing away Gary Payton II for five second-round picks.

Washington Wizards star forward Kyle Kuzma has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury. The Wizards have fared surprisingly well without arguably their second-best player — the team owns a 2-1 record since Kuzma’s been out, with wins over the Pacers and Hornets. Still, when the Wizards visit the Chase Center on Monday […]

The Washington Wizards are one of the more confusing teams in the NBA right now. Despite clearly having a team that is not a championship contender, the Wizards front office is building their team as if they will be in contention for a title. That mentality continued once again at the 2023 NBA trade deadline. […]

Russell Westbrook’s wife had time. Nina Westbrook blasted all the critics for branding the former Los Angeles Lakers point guard as a “locker room vampire” – a rant Kyle Kuzma agreed with.

In the madness that was the 2023 NBA trade deadline, the Washington Wizards made a minor move involving veteran Will Barton.

Following that news, a fan on Twitter suggested […]

Kyle Kuzma knows a thing or two about fashion (or not?), and so when he saw LeBron James’ outfit for what could be a historic Los Angeles Lakers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder game, he knew his ex-teammate is making a statement.

The Golden State Warriors haven’t had the 2022-23 season they were hoping for, as their 27-26 record sees them sitting in just eighth place in the Western Conference right now.

With the second half of the season fully underway and little room for error in the race for the postseason, the Washington Wizards, who at 24-28 are essentially tied with the Indiana Pacers at 25-29 for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference standings and the final play-in spot, have a big game against the […]

[…]

The Miami Heat didn’t have the start to the season that they were hoping for, but they are finally beginning to turn things around as we enter the second half of the season. With a 27-22 record, the Heat are sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and they are beginning to creep up […]

As expected, the announcement of the NBA All-Star Game starters has caused quite a stir among basketball fans everywhere.

Washington Wizards stud Kyle Kuzma was one […]

After pulling off a huge move for Dejounte Murray last offseason, the Hawks were expected to be one of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference, and for good reason. With Murray and Trae Young teaming up, Atlanta […]

It’s no secret that Spencer Dinwiddie, after signing a three-year, $62 million deal with the Washington Wizards, did not enjoy his time in D.C. at the very least. And the feeling is mutual; it’s apparent that Dinwiddie’s former teammates in Washington don’t like him one bit either. This much was evident in Kyle Kuzma’s reaction […]

The Washington Wizards continue to confound. They seem rather content with remaining one of the most decidedly mediocre teams in the entire NBA.

After John Wall’s two major injuries a couple of years back, the Washington Wizards have not been able to regain their place as one of the legitimate contenders in the Eastern Conference.

The Washington Wizards are only a game back from the 10th seed and final play-in spot despite their 18-24 record following a putrid 10-game losing streak earlier this year.
