The Washington Wizards had missed their previous 6 games due to Covid 19 health protocols. The team did not have enough eligible players due to the league’s protocols. However, after missing the action for more than 2 weeks. The Washington Wizards returned on the court to suffer from their 9th defeat of the season via the hands of San Antonio Spurs. Having not put up a good performance on either end of the court, coach Scott Brooks would surely not mind these lapses so much. 

Talking about the San Antoni Spurs, Patty Mills scored 21 points, Lonnie Walker IV added 16 and the San Antonio Spurs used their depth to beat Washington 121-101. Brooks said the Wizards only began practicing within the last three days and had to use video monitors on the bench to show their offensive sets to recently signed players like Alex Len. The Wizards still had six players ineligible against the Spurs, including Rui Hachimura.

“This whole season for us has been weird,” Brooks said. “Definitely, I don’t think I will ever go through anything like this again. It all happened after one game after another. We can’t keep dwelling on it, we have to put it behind us. We got the first game in. I’m glad we did that.”

“I think all of our guys are going to have to get back in NBA rhythm,” Brooks added as per ESPN. “It’s been totally taken away from us.” 

“It’s not normal,” said Bradley Beal, who led Washington Wizards scoring 31 points. “I just got done getting tested after the game, so it’s not normal. We are doing a lot of things on the fly. It’s just the next-man-up mentality.”
