With a brief and unusual offseason now in the rearview mirror, the Wizards are set to tip off their 2020-21 season on Wednesday night. The Wizards will take on the Sixers at 7:00 P.M. in Philadelphia in what will be a tough test to begin the season. After making his first appearance in Washington’s preseason finale, newly acquired guard Russell Westbrook will make his regular season Wizards debut alongside Bradley Beal, who looks to follow up on a career-best 2019-20 season.
