Scott Brooks talks like a man who expects to return to the Washington Wizards next season. Even with last week’s ouster of longtime general manager Ernie Grunfeld, the Wizards coach talks about the team as if he is still an integral part of its future.
But the reality is this: Brooks has yet to receive any assurances from owner Ted Leonsis about his status.
A day after the Wizards‘ season wrapped up, Brooks reiterated he’s not worried about his job. Speaking at the team’s practice facility Wednesday for his year-end press conference, Brooks said he will meet with Leonsis “soon” to discuss his future.
