Washington Wizards 2026-27 season outlook
Washington is scoring 113.6 points a game and allowing 115.8, 1-1 at home and 1-2 on the road.
Washington went 17-65 in 2025-26, the worst record in the league, and missed the playoffs for a fifth straight season. The Wizards traded for Trae Young in January and Anthony Davis in February. Both were recovering from injuries when they arrived, and Young played five games. Kyshawn George’s season ended early with a left elbow injury. Washington then landed the first pick in the lottery and drafted AJ Dybantsa in June. Young signed a new multi-year contract on 6 July. Deandre Ayton came from the Lakers on 7 July. Khris Middleton returned from Dallas in a six-team trade a day later.

Washington Wizards history
The franchise entered the NBA in 1961 as the Chicago Packers, the league’s first expansion team. After one season as the Chicago Zephyrs, it moved to Baltimore in 1963 and became the Bullets. Wes Unseld arrived as the second pick in 1968. He was named Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season.
The team moved to the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, in 1973 and took the Washington name a year later. The Bullets reached the Finals in 1971, 1975, 1978 and 1979. Dick Motta coached the 1978 team, led by Unseld and Elvin Hayes, which beat Seattle in seven games. Unseld was Finals MVP. He later coached the team.
Owner Abe Pollin dropped the Bullets name because of its violent overtones. The Wizards first played in 1997-98. Michael Jordan, who had joined the club as president of basketball operations in 2000, came out of retirement and played two seasons in Washington, from 2001 to 2003. Ted Leonsis took control in 2010. The club has not reached the playoffs since 2021.
Most famous player: Wes Unseld
Wes Unseld played all 13 of his seasons for the franchise, from 1968 to 1981. He was MVP as a rookie in 1969 and Finals MVP in 1978. He holds the club records for rebounds, with 13,769, and for games, and his No. 41 was retired on 3 November 1981.
Elvin Hayes, his partner on the 1978 title team, holds the franchise record for points, with 15,551. Bradley Beal is second on that list and leads the club in three-pointers.
