Just hours after a busy trade deadline for the Washington Wizards, they defeated the James Harden-less Brooklyn Nets 113-112 on Thursday at Capital One Arena to improve to 25-29 on the season.
The Wizards traded Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Tim MacMahon.
Washington also traded Montrezl Harrell to the Charlotte Hornets for Vernon Carey and Ish Smith, per Wojnarowski. So, they were without several starters given those moves.
The Wizards were also without All-Star guard Bradley Beal, who is expected to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing season-ending surgery on his left wrist, according to Wojnarowski.
