In stateside news, the #Wizards have waived two-way guard Jaylen Martin, a 21-year-old who played in 13 games last year for Washington, averaging 5.8 PPG and 3.4 RPG.
They could look to pick up a different FA or promote a guy like Kadary Richmond, Leaky Black, or Keshon Gilbert.
Alex Sarr led the way today for @FRABasketball with 19 points and Bilal Coulibaly poured in 10 as well as France took down Nikola Vucevic and Montenegro by a final score of 81-75.

“It’s only August, you’re not seriously already simulating the 2026 draft lottery are y—”

Why do the NYK have a chance at stealing the Wizards 2026 FRP? Let’s breakdown the journey it’s been on:
📌 Dec 2020: WAS trades John Wall and a future 1st to HOU for Russell Westbrook.
📌 July 2021: HOU trades 2 protected future firsts to OKC for the #16 pick - Alperen Sengün.
📌 June 2023: OKC trades 3 protected future firsts, including both that they got from HOU for Sengün, to NYK, in exchange for the #11 pick - Ousmane Dieng.
So now it belongs to NYK if it’s outside the top 8 in 2026.
New Power Rankings on @ESPN have the #Wizards coming in at #29, ahead of only the Utah Jazz.
Let the final tank commence 😤
