The 2018-19 Washington Wizards season was characterized by inconsistency and challenges. The team finished with a 32-50 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Head coach Scott Brooks faced difficulties as the Wizards struggled defensively, ranking among the worst in the league in defensive efficiency.
Injuries played a significant role, most notably John Wall’s season-ending Achilles injury in December, which left the team without their star point guard. Bradley Beal emerged as the team’s leader, averaging 25.6 points per game and earning an All-Star selection. The Wizards made several mid-season trades, including sending Otto Porter Jr. to the Chicago Bulls, which signaled a shift toward rebuilding.
Despite Beal’s standout performances, the Wizards’ lack of depth and defensive issues prevented them from competing in the Eastern Conference. The season concluded with the firing of team president Ernie Grunfeld, marking the beginning of a new direction for the franchise.
- Regular Season Record: 32-50
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
