Washington Wizards 2025-26 Season Preview
After consecutive seasons with fewer than 20 wins, the Wizards are leaning hard into their rebuild, aiming to develop young talent while adding veteran stabilizers. A high-profile move involved acquiring CJ McCollum, along with Kelly Olynyk and Cam Whitmore, through a multi-team trade — bolstering perimeter scoring and frontcourt versatility while keeping flexibility for future moves. The team also achieved considerable draft capital, secured the No. 6 overall pick in 2025 (Tre Johnson), and added wings and guards such as Walter Clayton Jr. (via draft night maneuver) and Will Riley, enhancing both present depth and future upside.
Beyond personnel shifts, uncertainty lingers on the court. The Wizards’ performance hasn’t drastically improved — they remain viewed among the league’s bottom-tier squads heading into the season, with expectations still tempered despite their efforts. The departure of Marcus Smart via buyout further underscores the youth-focused direction and need for player development to drive progress.

About Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards originated in 1961 as the Chicago Packers, marking the NBA’s first significant expansion. They moved to Baltimore the following year, becoming the Baltimore Bullets, before relocating to the Washington area in 1973 and eventually adopting the Wizards moniker in 1997 to distance the franchise from violent connotations associated with “Bullets”.
Their proudest moment came in 1978, capturing the franchise’s only NBA championship by defeating the Seattle SuperSonics — a triumph anchored by Hall of Famer Wes Unseld, who is the only player in team history to win both NBA MVP and Finals MVP honors. Beyond the title, the Bullets/Wizards have won multiple conference and division championships, with notable playoff runs in the 1970s and occasional success in later decades.
Today, the Wizards are recognized not just for their heritage, but also for their growing community engagement and cultural presence in the Washington, D.C. area. The franchise routinely highlights local Black-owned businesses, reflecting its role as a community pillar. Recent leadership efforts, led by figures like Michael Winger and Will Dawkins, emphasize cultivating a strong team culture centered on development, inclusivity, and long-term identity.
