The Wizards are in a rare position. Only two of their current rotation players are under contract for next season. Yet, they don’t have consequential salary cap room — thanks to the cap holds of free agents they’d like to re-sign and the $59 million they owe the threesome of Wall, who will miss at least the vast majority of next season, Ian Mahinmi and Dwight Howard, who seems destined to pick up a player option. Their roster overflows with centers they either don’t prefer playing together or don’t play at all.
Dwight Howard likely done for the season
Candace Buckner: #Wizards coach Scott Brooks: “Its pretty safe to say” that Dwight Howard will not return to play for the rest of the year.
Gobert’s alley-oop off a lob from Donovan Mitchell in the second quarter was his 270th dunk of the season. The 7-foot-1 center’s 270 dunks are the most in the NBA since the statistic started being tracked in 2000, besting Dwight Howard’s 269 slams in 2007-08. After the game, Rubio joked that Gobert can quit complaining they don’t get him the ball enough.
Kevin Chouinard: Rudy Gobert has tied the single-season dunk mark (269) set by Dwight Howard in 2007-08. (Shot type data goes back to the 2000-01 season.)
