The Washington Wizards announced on Thursday the dismissal of Wes Unseld Jr. as coach after a crushing 7-36 record to start the current NBA season.
Assistant Brian Keefe will take over as interim coach for the remainder of the NBA regular season, with the Wizards virtually already out of post-season contention.
The team will spend the next few months searching for a coach to guide them out of the darkness in the coming seasons, although much will depend on where they finish in the NBA Draft Lottery.NBA. Steph Curry pays homage to late Dejan Milojevic: It’s tough looking over at his chair

Wes Unseld Jr. had been in charge since 2021
In his two-and-a-half seasons at the helm, the team’s record has been 77-130, a 37.2 percent winning percentage, which has dropped to 16.3 percent in the current campaign.
His third season was the final straw for the franchise who only had the lowly Detroit Pistons below them in the league standings to this juncture.
Wednesday night the Wizards fell 107-118 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in what proved to be the final loss of Unseld Jr.’s tenure, although he won’t leave the team entirely.
