The 2021-22 Washington Wizards season was characterized by a strong start but ultimately ended in disappointment. The team finished 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 35-47 record, missing the playoffs for the fourth time in five years. Bradley Beal was the standout player until a wrist injury sidelined him for the latter part of the season. The Wizards made a significant trade, sending Russell Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers and acquiring key players like Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Despite these changes, consistency remained an issue.
Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. faced challenges in his first year, particularly in integrating new talent and maintaining defensive consistency. The Wizards started the season strong, going 10-3, but struggled with injuries and cohesion as the season progressed. This inconsistency was a major factor in their inability to secure a playoff spot, highlighting areas that needed addressing in the off-season.
- Regular Season Record: 35-47
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
