The 2017-18 Washington Wizards concluded the regular NBA season with a 43-39 record, finishing eighth in the Eastern Conference. Under the guidance of head coach Scott Brooks, the team was led by star guards John Wall and Bradley Beal. Wall, however, faced injuries that limited him to just 41 games, impacting the team’s consistency.
Despite the challenges, Beal stepped up, averaging 22.6 points per game and earning his first All-Star selection. The Wizards’ season was marked by streaky performances, with notable victories against high-ranking teams but also surprising losses against weaker opponents. They entered the playoffs facing the top-seeded Toronto Raptors in the first round.
The Wizards were competitive but ultimately fell to the Raptors in six games, ending their playoff run in the opening round. The season highlighted the team’s need for depth and consistency to support their star backcourt duo and advance further in the postseason.
- Regular Season Record: 43-39
