I asked Draymond Green what he thought about the Wizards’ young core and his answer was…incredible. “That’s the first time we’ve seen a Washington Wizards team play that hard in years, and it’s because of [Bub and Kyshawn’s] energy.” Kyshawn jawed with him all night. Respect.
This one is tough. The Black Sabbath farewell concert a few weeks ago was epic. RIP 🕊️
Ozzy Osbourne has sadly passed away at the age of 76.
The Washington Wizards have waived Blake Wesley, league sources told @hoopshype. Wesley, the 25th pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, was acquired from the San Antonio Spurs in the Kelly Olynyk trade.
BREAKING: Marcus Smart has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and intends to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers, sources tell ESPN. A return to a grand stage for the 2022 NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
FINAL: Wizards 94, Knicks 85 Heck of a game for Dillon Jones, who was the best player on the floor: 25 points (8-13 FG), 11 reb. Jamir Watkins also chipped in 23 pts, 8 reb, 5 stl. Washington finishes Summer League 2-3.
This exact same clip was going viral a year ago when Washington signed Ekeler, Ertz, Wagner, and Mariota, then they made the NFC Championship.

FINAL: Jazz 86, Wizards 76 AJ Johnson was once again the Wizards' catalyst on offense but was much more efficient than last night: 25 points off 10-16 shooting. Cody Williams had 23 while Isaiah Collier had 17. Washington has one more SL game remaining before they head home.
Before the Wizards take on the Jazz in SL game #4 tonight, here's a story on Jamir Watkins' historic outing yesterday, plus some tidbits on VJ Edgecombe, AJ Johnson and more! 👇monumentalsportsnetwork.com/article/jamir-…
FINAL: 76ers 74, Wizards 58 Jamir Watkins was a clear standout tonight: tied a SL record 8 steals to go along with three blocks, 10 points and just one foul. An undermanned WSH held VJ Edgecombe to a poor shooting day (4-14 FG), but he still managed to put up 15 points.
VJ Edgecombe in his last game (7/5 vs. Utah): 13-27 FG, 28 pts, 10 reb VJ Edgecombe tonight vs. Washington (so far): 3-13 FG, 12 pts, 4 reb
ESPN now has Watkins credited with his 8th steal of the game, which, if it stands, would tie the all-time Summer League record. Incredible outing for the rookie tonight.
FYI, eight is the summer league record for steals in a game
Jamir Watkins is playing really incredible defense. Just had two consecutive steal-and-scores. Now up to six (!) steals, three blocks and eight points on the day.
Commanders owner Josh Harris is here in Vegas watching his 76ers take on the Wizards in Summer League. Sitting alongside Elton Brand, Bob Myers, Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse.
It is 13-7 at the end of the first quarter. 20 combined points after 10 minutes. Washington and Philly shooting a combined 6-33 (18%) from the field.
The Wizards are having Jamir Watkins guard No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe to start this game. Doing well so far.
Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George, Tre Johnson III and Will Riley are all OUT tonight against the Sixers, per the team. Johnson III is out with right hamstring tightness, Riley with left thumb soreness. They're day-to-day. Starters: AJ Johnson, Leaky Black, Dillon…
