This isn’t the only negative report surrounding the Wizards. Bradley Beal reportedly lashed out at the team’s front office during a volatile practice.
The Wizards are 5-11 and have been one of the biggest disappointments in the league. They seem to be ready to finally blow things up after getting off to such a horrible start.
