The Washington Wizards decided to fully commit to a rebuild this offseason, dealing away Kristap Porzingis and Bradley Beal. The results have been difficult as the Wizards currently sit with the second-worst record in the NBA at 3-17. They have lost 12 of 13 games heading into this one including a 131-126 loss to the Sixers on Wednesday night. Jordan Poole led the way with 23 points but the Wizards were no match for the inside presence of Joel Embiid, who torched them for 50 points.
“In general, I thought the effort, the overall intent was better tonight. The defensive disposition was much better,” Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said. “So you come up short, but I thought that was somewhat of a bounce-back for us.”
