Pregame notes
Starting this with a Fire Scott Brooks rant wouldn’t be wise, so instead it’ll begin with a WIZARDS NEED A WIN, preferably before the new year.
The Washington Wizards are 0-3 after having multiple disappointing fourth quarters in all three of their losses. Some want to celebrate the the fact Russell Westbrook had back-to-back triple doubles or the fact Raul Neto had a career-high night, but none of the outcomes were wins. Nothing to celebrate.

Injury Report
76ers: Matisse Thybulle (Ankle, Game-Time Decision)
Pregame notes
The Wizards are one man down going into the regular season with Rui Hachimura sitting out for approximately three weeks with bi-lateral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC). After his 18-point performance in the team’s first preseason game, there was an excitement to see him start the season. Now, we will just have to be patient and wait for his return.
