The Wizards play the Timberwolves at 6 p.m. ET in Capital One Arena. Watch the game on NBC Sports Washington. Listen to it on Federal News Radio 1500 AM or the Wizards Mobile App.
This is the first time that Ryan Saunders will come to Capital One Arena as an NBA head coach. Granted, he is serving in an interim capacity, but he is one of the rising young coaches in the league and he’s managed to hold the fort. Since he took over this season, Minnesota has gone 10-12. They probably won’t make the playoffs this season, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him stay there on a permanent basis next season.
