A game four victory and Joel Embiid injury should have breathed new life into the Washington Wizards. Instead, the Wizards came out sloppy and less aggressive than the Philadelphia 76ers in a must-win game and couldn’t keep their season alive as they lost to the 76ers 129-112. The Wizards have officially been eliminated from the playoffs, and the offseason is now upon us.
The next time the Wizards take the court, they could have a new head coach. Scott Brooks has completed his five-year contract with the Wizards, and there’s been no word on his future with the team.
