Leonsis says Danny Ferry still candidate for Wizards top job

The owner of the Washington Wizards and a man who interviewed for their open general manager job were brought into the same room Sunday.

Danny Ferry was among those inducted into the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame in a ceremony at Nationals Park, while Ted Leonsis was there to represent the 2017-18 Capitals team that brought the city its first Stanley Cup and earned the Hall’s first “team of distinction” award.

In an interview with The Washington Times, Leonsis confirmed Ferry is still in the running for the Wizards’ job.

The position remains vacant after Leonsis last week publicly denied rumors that the team was pursuing Raptors executive Masai Ujiri.
