Back to the Washington Wizards Newsfeed

Do the Wizards owe being part of the NBA’s 22-team restart to Tommy Sheppard’s networking ability?

When’s the last time the NBA bent over backwards for the Washington Wizards?

Well, it just happened.

Editor’s note: The last time was probably the Juwan Howard do-over. Back to Yanir and Kevin.

Is it a coincidence the Wizards are among the 22 teams scheduled to participate in a shortened season and championship tournament in July?

After all, there was justification for leaving them out considering they’re 14 games under .500 and 5.5 games behind Orlando for 8th. It would have made sense for the NBA to drop the Wizards and Suns and go with 20 team.
