    Brian Keefe was not happy with Cam Whitmore. Called that last timeout and clapped and pointed at the forward. On the previous offensive possession, Whitmore had missed a stepback three.

    Extended convo between Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and Coach Brian Keefe at the end of today’s Wizards practice. Appeared to be a calm but serious convo.

    Wizards GM Will Dawkins (a Bills fan) lost a bet to rookie guard Bub Carrington (a Ravens fan). The result?

    Jordan Poole — seen here doing… well I’m not really sure what — participated in today’s Wizards practice, per Coach Brian Keefe.

    My internship with @PostSports ended a few days ago but I’m not going anywhere! Can’t believe I’m saying this but I will be covering the Washington Wizards for @WashingtonPost. Thank you to so many people who helped me get here. I can’t wait to get started!

    Bub Carrington refuses to not go 100% on the court. That's how he became the only rookie ironman this season. "I think he's going to be actually a great leader for this team going forward, I think that's going to be his role." More on Bub 👇 bit.ly/431bM2I
