Wizards, 76ers Seek to Halt Skids as Rebuilds Near Season’s End

The Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers have both endured frustrating seasons, albeit for very different reasons, and now meet Wednesday night each hoping to end a five-game losing streak.

Washington (15-56), owners of the NBA’s worst record, expected growing pains with its youthful core and rebuilding focus. Meanwhile, Philadelphia (23-49) entered the season with championship aspirations—only to see those dreams unravel due to devastating injuries.

Now, both franchises find themselves closer to the top of the draft lottery than the top of the standings.

Youth Movement in Full Swing for Washington

The Wizards dropped a 112-104 decision to the Toronto Raptors on Monday, continuing a stretch that’s seen them lose 11 of their last 13. Jordan Poole led the team with 23 points, while rookie Bub Carrington impressed with a well-rounded line of 15 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists.

AJ Johnson, another young prospect, chipped in 17 points and earned praise from interim coach Brian Keefe.

“He’s been great. He’s been getting better and better every game,” Keefe said. “I like how he’s playing. I like how he’s progressing.”

Johnson saw increased minutes due to the early exit of starting guard Kyshawn George, who suffered a sprained ankle and will miss Wednesday’s contest.

Washington is currently jockeying with the Utah Jazz for the best odds to draft projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, even if they won’t say it out loud.

Injury-Ravaged Sixers Struggle Through Road Woes

The 76ers closed out a grueling six-game road trip with a 112-99 loss to the Pelicans on Monday, finishing the swing with a 1-5 record. Philadelphia was without nearly all of its key players again, but saw solid showings from rookies Justin Edwards and Jared Butler, who each scored 19 points.

“I thought there were some decent performances,” said head coach Nick Nurse. “Jared had a good night.”

Butler, who was traded from Washington to Philadelphia in February, nearly matched his season-high of 21 points, while Quentin Grimes was held out to rest after logging heavy minutes the night before.

“Give the group some credit,” Nurse added. “I thought they played some really, really great basketball… But it’ll be nice to get home for a while.”

Philadelphia must now hope to retain its 2024 draft pick—currently lottery-bound—since it will convey to the Oklahoma City Thunder if it falls outside the top six.

A Battle of Lottery-Bound Teams

This will be the second of three meetings between the clubs this season. Philadelphia won the first clash 109-103 on Jan. 8 and has won six straight against the Wizards.

With both teams dealing with depleted rosters, the focus has shifted from playoff ambitions to player development—and perhaps, to keeping one eye on the lottery odds.
