Wizards guard Austin Rivers talks with a fan during the Washington's 125-118 loss to Brooklyn.

Not because the Wizards, the team that traded for him in the summer and the group once held now-vanished expectations, had dropped their fourth consecutive game. Little did the Wizards know that moment would be the least dramatic turn of the night. “I got out the shower and somebody told me I was traded,” Rivers said.
