Washington Wizards head coach Wes Unseld, Jr. is third place in betting odds to be the first NBA head coach to be fired in the 2023-24 season, according to Sportbetting.ag*. Unseld’s specific odds are 5/1 (+500). He is only behind Billy Donovan of the Chicago Bulls (+250) and Taylor Jenkins of the Memphis Grizzlies (+200).
It makes sense to assume that Unseld is on the hot seat, and more likely than most head coaches to lose his job midseason. Here’s why:
- Will Dawkins is the new Wizards General Manager and he is beginning a rebuild with the guidance of new President Michael Winger.
