The NBA returns to regular-season action this week, and opening night cannot come soon enough. The Washington Wizards will open their season on Wednesday night when they take on the Dallas Mavericks.
It’s been an offseason full of change in Washington, starting with the firing of Ernie Grunfeld back in April. Since then, the Wizards have committed to a new identity and a new direction under Tommy Sheppard. This offseason, they built a roster that includes just six players from last season: Bradley Beal, John Wall, Troy Brown Jr, Thomas Bryant, Ian Mahinmi, and Jordan McRae.
