The 2015-16 Washington Wizards finished their NBA season with a 41-41 record, ending in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and missing the playoffs. Despite having a promising roster led by John Wall and Bradley Beal, the team struggled with consistency and injuries throughout the season. Wall, who was an All-Star for the third consecutive year, averaged 19.9 points and 10.2 assists per game, while Beal was limited to 55 games due to injuries, impacting the team’s offensive rhythm.
Head coach Randy Wittman faced criticism for the team’s defensive woes, as the Wizards ranked 21st in the league in defensive efficiency. The season marked a step back for Washington after reaching the Eastern Conference Semifinals in the previous two years. This led to Wittman’s dismissal after the season, as the team sought a new direction to capitalize on their young backcourt’s potential. The Wizards entered the offseason with the goal of surrounding Wall and Beal with better talent to return to playoff contention.
- Regular Season Record: 41-41
