WASHINGTON (AP) — The first topic raised with Washington Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard the day after the team’s season ended was the topic that will hang over the offseason until a decision is announced: Will coach Scott Brooks be back? I love the city.”It was, to be sure, a trying season for the Wizards, who started 0-5 along the way to 17-32 in early April. And then, with Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook leading the way on the court, Washington turned into a winning team. But he was praised by Sheppard and his players alike for steering the team through this season. “I’m not afraid,” Sheppard said, “to take big swings.”Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
