Washington Wizards stud Kyle Kuzma sent out a seemingly innocent tweet on Thursday about appreciating people while you still can. The inspirational message took a different turn, however, after it got a very intriguing reaction for Kuz’s former Los Angeles Lakers teammate LeBron James. It all started when Kuzma tweeted out a rather cryptic tweet […]

After starting their season with three wins in their first four games, the Washington Wizards have now come crashing back to earth with three straight defeats. Their last one came in the form of a disappointing 118-111 loss to a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers that were without superstar Joel Embiid on Monday night. After the loss, […]

Their most recent loss came at the hands of the Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers, a 118-111 loss sparked by James Harden and Tyrese Maxey’s solid performances. Nonetheless, for all […]

The Washington Wizards were hosting a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, and the contest presented itself as an opportunity for Kyle Kuzma to build on his strong start to the season. Unfortunately for him, a botched dunk in the third quarter prompted an instant shoutout from Shaqtin’ a Fool on Twitter. Kuz had […]

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon might seem unassuming, but he’s definitely not somebody to be messed with on the court. During a 112-94 victory over the Washington Wizards, the new Celtic showed who he is and posted a season-best 23 points in only 23 minutes. Following the win, former Boston guard Eddie House sounded off […]

The Washington Wizards have had a good start to the 2022-23 season, winning three of their first four games behind some strong play up and down their roster. Unfortunately, that depth has taken a hit, as they lost Delon Wright to a hamstring injury recently. The latest update on Wright’s injury status certainly won’t make […]

Bradley Beal has become one of the elite scoring guards in the NBA. A three-time All-Star, the former No. 3 overall pick has averaged double-digits in scoring every season he’s been in the NBA. This season, Beal is still averaging 21 points per game, but those scoring numbers are just slightly down from the previous […]

When the Lakers traded for Anthony Davis, they gave up nearly all of their young assets save for Kyle Kuzma. It was a big deal at the time as it appeared as if the Lakers thought highly enough of Kuzma that they envisioned him as a long-term player worth keeping around as they contended for […]

Deni Avdija was set to be the Washington Wizards starting small forward for Wednesday’s opening game against the Indiana Pacers but he left the game after suffering an ankle injury. But Wizards fans and Avdija’s teammate Bradley Beal can exhale a bit after Avdija received some positive news. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Avdija’s […]

When Indiana Pacers GM Chad Buchanan said last September that Myles Turner will be with the team on opening night, he certainly didn’t expect that the big man will just be watching from the bench. Unfortunately, that is exactly the case after the team ruled out the big man due to injury. UPDATE: Myles Turner’s […]

On Wednesday, NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that Victor Oladipo “spurned a potential starting opportunity in Washington to return to Miami in free agency.” The Miami Heat guard caught wind of the report, and Oladipo himself was quick to refute the same. Oladipo took to Twitter to make it abundantly clear that he did not […]

It looks like the Washington Wizards have dodged a bullet when it comes to Kristaps Porzingis’ ankle injury. Porzingis left Monday’s preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets with a left ankle sprain. He sustained the injury late in the second quarter of the contest while driving to the basket. His ankle appeared to twist as […]

The Washington Wizards are entering another season with modest expectations, as they are still led by the duo of Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. NBA pundits do not see the Wizards reaching the NBA Playoffs this season, especially with the deep Eastern Conference this season.

Has there ever been a player with as huge a disparity in their reputations with fans and peers than Russell Westbrook?

Rewind back to the summer of 2021. The Los Angeles Lakers were looking for a co-star to pair with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The Washington Wizards are in a bit of an odd spot entering the 2022-23 season.

Nick Young recently made some waves after his controversial take on the Ime Udoka situation with the Boston Celtics. The 37-year-old pretty much condoned the fact that Udoka had an affair with a female staffer by saying that it’s just human nature for men to get “bored.” As if that wasn’t enough, Young has now […]

Kyle Kuzma made huge strides on the court last season, at times serving as the Washington Wizards’ best player with Bradley Beal missing the second half of the season.

Washington Wizards reporter Chase Hughes shared the following report on Kuzma. “Kyle Kuzma says he was in a “dark place” leaving the Lakers because of the narratives surrounding his exit: ‘How […]

The Washington Wizards, at first glance, appear to be in an unenviable spot as a franchise. After a strong 10-3 start last season buoyed by an unsustainable defensive performance, the Wizards soon plummeted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference amid a down season from Bradley Beal, who ended up requiring surgery on his left […]

France Tiafoe may be feeling that he let everyone down with his US Open exit, but Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal certainly isn’t thinking that way.
