With the NBA trade deadline on February 9th fast approaching, the Los Angeles Lakers decided to make a move. On Monday, the Lakers dealt guard Kendrick Nunn and three second-round picks — in 2023, 2028, and 2029, respectively — to the Washington Wizards in exchange for forward Rui Hachimura, per a tweet from ESPN’s Adrian […]

Just a day after Rui Hachimura made cryptic comments on a potential trade, the Washington Wizards have decided to move him already to the Los Angeles Lakers. Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report on this, saying that both teams are in advanced talks on a deal. ESPN Sources with @RamonaShelburne: The Wizards are in […]

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura turned heads across the league when he refused to comment on whether he had asked the team for a trade, and his name has subsequently come up in trade talks, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. “No comment,” Hachimura said earlier this week when asked if he demanded a trade, […]

The Washington Wizards have a looming Rui Hachimura decision to make, whether that be via trade or contract negotiations. His rookie contract is up at the end of the season and yet his involvement in the team’s plans – both on the court and towards the future – is murky at best. Hachimura’s minutes have […]

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. Bradley Beal has remained the common denominator of this roster, but he has not been the No. 1 guy that is needed for […]

The Washington Wizards are in an interesting spot as the trade deadline approaches. Washington sits in 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a 19-26 record. The Wizards’ front office has been unwilling to rebuild and sell their pieces but has been unable to surround Bradley Beal with a competitive roster. Washington has three All-Star […]

Kyle Kuzma is having a career season in his second year with the Washington Wizards. He’s got all the motivation in the world to be as great as possible on the floor, as he is set to hit the free-agent market at the end of the 2022-23 NBA season. No one knows for sure whether […]

The Washington Wizards are in the middle of yet another uninspiring season; ever since their last postseason berth in 2018 with the John Wall and Bradley Beal-led core, they have made the postseason just once, a miracle second-half turnaround that culminated in a play-in tournament triumph. Even with that small consolation thanks to Russell Westbrook’s […]

Kristaps Porzingis was back in the Big Apple Wednesday night to play his former team, the New York Knicks. He used to star for the Knicks, proving his draft-day haters wrong with exceptional play for a man his size in his early years in the NBA. But it’s also been years since he last suited […]

John Wall has been making headlines lately, not for his play on the court with him being out for around two weeks due to an abdominal injury, but due to the noise he’s been making off it. In a podcast with Dallas Mavericks guard Theo Pinson, Wall recently doubled down on his six-year old take […]

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma has officially staked his claim as an NBA star. He’s enjoying the best season of his pro career with the Wizards in 2022-23 and is a legit candidate to make the All-Star game. But for all that Kuzma is doing well on the court this year, it’s what he’s doing […]

The Washington Wizards are busy ahead of the trade deadline, as they look for ways to smooth out their frontcourt rotation and continue to upgrade their talent.

The Washington Wizards will get their star back on Wednesday. Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Bradley Beal will return to the lineup against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Beal missed the team’s last five games due to a left hamstring injury he sustained against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. For a team that’s only two […]

The Washington Wizards of the mid to late 2010s were an exciting, up-and-coming bunch, thanks in large part to the exploits of what was once one of the best backcourts in the entire NBA in John Wall and Bradley Beal. In fact, in 2017, they had a golden chance to advance to the Eastern Conference […]

When you talk about some of the most controversial players in the history of the NBA, you just have to throw the name of former Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas in there. After all, this man literally brought a gun inside the locker room to threaten his own teammate. All this over a supposed gambling […]

There were a lot of broken hearts when the Washington Wizards announced their decision to trade John Wall to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Russell Westbrook back in 2020. Wall, who now plies his trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, was Washington’s cornerstone superstar for many years, so it was indeed a dark day […]

The Washington Wizards have been struggling mightily of late, and the fact that they have now lost five out of their last six games is a clear testament to this notion.

The Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards squared off on Monday but the most compelling matchup of the night was between Draymond Green and a couple of unruly fans. The two Wizards fans were located right by the scorer’s table in close contact with the players. They used their proximity to try to rile up […]

Draymond Green came up big in the second half for the Golden State Warriors in their game against the Washington Wizards on Monday, and fans might have a Wiz fan to thank for that.

Bradley Beal is not yet ready to return. The Washington Wizards All-Star guard, who has been dealing with a left hamstring injury, will not play against the Golden State Warriors on Monday due to his left hamstring injury, according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic.

Kyle Kuzma is becoming one of the most intriguing subjects heading into February’s 2023 NBA trade deadline. The Washington Wizards forward’s the current contract is set to expire at the end of the 2022-23 NBA season, and with his team not seen as a serious title contender, he is someone deemed to be an ideal […]

The Washington Wizards executed an offseason trade that did not catch the attention of many eyeballs as it did not involve any of the big names. The Wizards received both Will Barton and Monte Morris from the Nuggets, but both of them have been performing at a less-than-desirable level so far. Washington is currently the […]

To say that Kyle Kuzma’s oversized pink sweater outfit has taken a life of its own would be an understatement at this point. So much so, that the viral fit was featured in a bobblehead night during the Washington Wizards’ matchup against the New York Knicks on Friday night. After the game, Kuzma was asked […]

When the Dallas Mavericks made a trade with the New York Knicks in 2019 to acquire Kristaps Porzingis, they felt like they were getting a major piece to their puzzle. While Porzingis did not play at all that season as he recovered from an ACL injury, the Mavs were eager to pair him with Luka […]

The Washington Wizards were able to take care of business on Wednesday as they took down the Chicago Bulls, 100-97. They did so without both Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis in the mix, and it seems like it’s going to be the same case again for them on Friday when they host the New York […]

Odds are still against the Washington Wizards being one of the NBA’s most aggressive sellers at the trade deadline, despite mass interest in prospective free agent Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal continuing the back half of his prime playing for a losing team.

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. Amid Bradley Beal’s injury woes, Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis have kept the Wizards afloat. However, the Wizards could end up losing Kuzma for nothing, with […]

The Chicago Bulls lost a heartbreaker on Wednesday night without DeMar DeRozan and had the chance to tie the game at 100 with seconds remaining in the fourth.

Kyle Kuzma came up in the clutch for the shorthanded Washington Wizards on Wednesday night as he led his team to a 100-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls. The game went down the wire with neither team willing to let up. In the end, however, it was Kuzma who had the last laugh. With the […]

Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan left the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Celtics with a quad strain and did not return.
