The Washington Wizards are now one of the teams to talk about in the NBA after they fired Tommy Sheppard as the team’s General Manager earlier this evening. In fact, the Wizards’ official release came at 7 p.m. ET.
When the head of basketball operations is fired, it is reasonable to assume that the head coach will also be fired. So is Wes Unseld, Jr. heading out the door too?
Not so fast.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Unseld will return. One reason why? Monumental Sports & Entertainment principal owner Ted Leonsis is a “strong advocate” for him.
