When Emma Meesseman dons the court next week for the Washington Mystics next week and Rui Hachimura does the same for the Washington Wizards in the week after that, you will notice that their jerseys have a different look to them. And here’s why.
Monumental Sports & Entertainment announced today that the Wizards and Mystics will commemorate the late Wes Unseld on their jerseys when play begins in the NBA and WNBA bubbles later this month. Unseld, a Basketball Hall of Famer, played 13 NBA seasons for the Wizards franchise when they were known as the Bullets, winning an MVP and Rookie of the Year award in 1969 and the NBA Finals in 1978.
