The Washington Wizards have had a disappointing 2018-19 campaign thus far this season. With a 5-11 record, the Wizards have been an extreme let down this year.
After acquiring Dwight Howard in the offseason, many viewed the team as a dark horse to be a contender to win the Eastern Conference this year. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
In fact, Washington has been an absolute circus this year. From teammates not trusting each other, to the team actively shopping its two best players, things couldn’t be worse for the Wizards.
On Monday night, things got immensely worse. The team reportedly fined John Wall for unloading a verbal barrage on head coach Scott Brooks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Story filed to ESPN: The Wizards fined All-Star John Wall for unloading a verbal barrage onto coach Scott Brooks in a recent practice. After Wall and his teammates had been challenged to raise intensity in that session, Wall fired back with “F— you,” to Brooks. Story soon.

The altercation happened after Brooks challenged Wall and his teammates to pick up the intensity during practice, which Wall fired back with an ‘F— You’ to the head coach. Woj later reported that John Wall apologized to Brooks just minutes after lashing out on him, and apologized to his teammates the next day.
Wall apologized to Brooks in the minutes after cursing him, and apologized to his teammates the following day, league sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/iih3oUT55D
