WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington Wizards announced today that they will not extend the contract of Head Coach Scott Brooks. Wizards General Manager Tommy Sheppard will begin the search for a new head coach immediately.
“We have been committed to taking the proper steps over the last two seasons to develop our young players, bring in pieces to complement Bradley Beal and build a winning environment that will ultimately lead to sustained on-court success,” said Sheppard. “Our organization will always be grateful to Scott for his dedication and work both on the court and in the community over the past five years and I personally admire and respect how he helped keep our team together during the unprecedented events of the last 15 months.
