Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had the first “Wow” moment of his life during All-Star weekend, as the sharpshooter got to sit down and have a full conversation with his idol, Hall of Famer Ray Allen. Bradley Beal made his second All-Star team this season. The Wizards’ best player is one of the top […]

The ultimate goal in the NBA is to win a championship. When teams bring players in, or decide to tank, they have an end goal of hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy at season’s end. For the Washington Wizards, they have a star backcourt duo in Bradley Beal and John Wall, but they haven’t been enough […]

While a certain level of candor is appreciated from athletes, it is probably best to keep some details to oneself. Case in point, Washington Wizards guard and All-Star Bradley Beal and his team’s roster plans. Bradley Beal said he couldn't name names, but he was actively recruiting at the All-Star game for players to join […]

At the trade deadline, the Chicago Bulls pulled the trigger and sent Jabari Parker, Bobby Portis, and a second-round pick to the Washington Wizards for Otto Porter. This trade was a bit of a surprise. The Washington Wizards had announced in mid-November that their entire squad was up for trade. They were very interested in trading […]

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal has an old school mindset where you play with the team and players you have and go and compete every night at a high level. Beal says he’s hates super teams, but understands that is the new phenomenon in the NBA since the Golden State Warriors have five All-Stars […]

Dwyane Wade is playing his final season in the NBA. During his career, he earned the reputation as one of the best shooting guards in the history of the league. Wade is playing his 13th and final All-Star game on Sunday, in what people see as a formality for him to pass the torch to […]

Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid reached out to Washington Wizards point guard John Wall after news broke that Wall ruptured his left Achilles.

For some, NBA All-Star Weekend is serious. It’s about recognizing the game’s best players and seeing them all compete on the same floor. For others, though, the weekend is just about fun. It’s safe to say that Toronto Raptors shooting guard Danny Green fits into the latter category. On Saturday’s media day, he grabbed a […]

On the verge of his second consecutive NBA All-Star appearance, Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal has established himself as one of the best shooting guards in the league. But as a kid coming up in the Houston AAU circuit, Beal was merely known for a single facet of his game. Beal told Fred Katz of The […]

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal has been named as part of the All-Star team for two years running now for a reason. Aside from pretty much carrying the load for the Wizards ever since John Wall’s season ended due to injury (and perhaps even before that?), Beal is unquestionably one of the deadliest shooters in […]

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal recently broke Twitter, the NBA rules, and the NBA officials’ Twitter account, although not necessarily in that order.

During a fan Q&A in Charlotte for All-Star weekend, Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal said he’s “all about loyalty” and wants to retire with the Wizards. With Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall expected to miss the majority of next season after tearing his Achilles tendon, some believe Washington should tear the roster down […]

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal was given a free pass to travel earlier this week. Now he’s joking that it could come back to bite him hard: Was talking with @RealDealBeal23 this morning for a long-range piece, but asked while I had him how he’s dealing with the referees’ civil war that he started in […]

New Washington Wizards addition Bobby Portis has had a wild couple of weeks after the Chicago Bulls traded him before the trade deadline, putting an end to his three-plus-year stint in The Windy City.

In the fourth quarter of the Washington Wizards’ 121-112 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, Washington shooting guard Bradley Beal was looking to score.

NBA players took to Twitter after a controversial explanation from the NBA Referees Twitter account explained why a non-travel call of a driving Bradley Beal against the Detroit Pistons went by without a whistle. Complex Sports posted a video of the play, which shows Beal bobbling the ball before re-gathering it, taking an extra step […]

Bradley Beal sarcastically defended himself after the in-game officials let a travel call slide during a Washington Wizards road loss to the Detroit Pistons. As it turns out, he wasn’t wrong.

Sources: Wizards star John Wall underwent successful surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon. He will be out […]

You thought James Harden’s travels were obvious? Well, he has nothing on what Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal achieved on Monday night against the Detroit Pistons. In the fourth quarter, Beal drove baseline and clearly did not know what to do, so he took about eight million and one steps before passing the ball off. […]

Washington Wizards star guard Bradley Beal has proven once again that either NBA referees are blind or traveling is now legal in the league. Check out Beal’s blatant traveling violation against the Detroit Pistons. Everyone — Pistons players and audience members — reacted to Beal’s carry. The referees, the ones expected to have the sharpest eye […]

Chasson Randle will start in the place of Tomas Satoransky in the Washington Wizards’ game against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. Satoransky’s absence is due to personal reasons, and it appears it likely has something to do with his wife’s pregnancy: Chasson Randle is starting tonight in place of Tomas Satoransky who will miss […]

The Washington Wizards seem to be on a constant decline after being one of the most exciting teams to watch in the past couple of seasons. This year, they are highly unlikely to make the playoffs, and with John Wall suffering a torn Achilles, there are a lot of questions surrounding the Wizards’ future, especially […]

Washington Wizards small forward Jabari Parker got his revenge against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, scoring 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field in the Wizards’ 134-125 win against the Bulls in Chicago.

Getting shipped off — especially in the middle of the season — is never easy for any player. New Washington Wizards forward Bobby Portis admitted to this exactly, with the 23-year-old claiming that he too had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that his former team, the Chicago Bulls, traded him. Such […]

The Washington Wizards defeated the Chicago Bulls on Saturday by a final score of 134-125, but Wizards forward Jeff Green found himself on the wrong end of a dicey pass a few minutes into the first quarter: That pass did not go as planned 😅 #SCNotTop10 pic.twitter.com/kE3E9b5lNm — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) February 10, 2019 Jeff Green went […]

What a moment for Jabari Parker. In the second quarter of his new team’s game against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night, the Washington Wizards forward channeled frustration and disappointment stemming from his time in the Windy City into this nasty, left-handed poster dunk over former teammate Lauri Markkanen. Revenge! The Bulls, of course, traded […]

Only a select few players in NBA history are able to chart the course of their own careers. LeBron James, for instance, has the power to play for pretty much whatever team he wants. But even lesser All-Stars don’t have the luxury of signing a series of one-year contracts, nor the ability to pick a […]

Jabari Parker’s time with the Chicago Bulls didn’t exactly go as planned. Signed last summer to start at small forward, at least according to management, he came off the bench for the first seven games of the season before being inserted to the starting lineup at power forward. But that was under Fred Hoiberg, who […]

Chicago Bulls small forward Otto Porter says members of the Washington Wizards front office told him privately he wouldn’t be traded before the Feb. 7 deadline.

John Wall won’t be playing elsewhere anytime soon, for better or worse for the Washington Wizards. But after the five-time All-Star, already out with a heel injury, ruptured his Achilles tendon while falling at home last week, the Wizards reacted by shipping out two long-time rotation players, Markieff Morris and Otto Porter, Jr., to dip […]

Bobby Portis scored 30 points in his Washington Wizards debut on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it looks like Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall motivated him. Portis had 18 points at halftime. That’s when Wall told the big man if he didn’t finish with at least 30 points, he was a punk. https://twitter.com/HoopDistrictDC/status/1094079169586233344 […]

Washington Wizards five-time All-Star point guard John Wall was the recipient of some terrible news of late. Being out of action for more than a month now, it was recently announced that the 28-year-old is now expected to miss most, if not all of next season due to a procedure that needs to be done […]

With his outstanding play this season, Washington Wizards two guard Bradley Beal was recently named to the NBA All-Star team for a second consecutive season. However, being that Beal missed out on a starting spot on the prestigious team, his teammate John Wall seems to think that Beal was robbed. According to Wall, who himself […]

It was recently announced that Washington Wizards superstar John Wall is expected to be out for at least another 12 months due to an Achilles injury. In a recent interview with ESPN, Wall admitted that his competitive drive to play through injuries may have now gotten the better of him. “I guess God is telling […]

Washington Wizards big man Bobby Portis made history on Friday night. Barely more than 24 hours after being traded from the Chicago Bulls, the Washington Wizards’ newest big man dropped 30 points on 12-of-18 shooting in 27 minutes off the bench during his team’s 119-106 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Such an awesome performance would […]

Right before this past Thursday’s trading deadline, the Chicago Bulls dealt Jabari Parker, Bobby Portis, and a second-round pick for Washington Wizards’ swingman Otto Porter.

Bobby Portis made his Washington Wizards debut on Friday at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it’s safe to say he made a big impact.
