Here are some of the very many posts and articles from yesterday’s Media Day.
Yesterday, the Washington Wizards hosted Media Day at Capital One Arena. Here is a very quick roundup of some links and posts from around the web.
- The Wizards veterans are really happy to see that Jonas Valanciunas is on the roster (by Chase Hughes, Monumental Sports)
- The Wizards players reiterate that they aren’t cutting corners with the rebuild and are embracing the process (by Varun Shankar, The Washington Post)
- Jordan Poole has returned and looks a lot more relaxed now that he’s in D.C. for year two (Josh Robbins, The Athletic)
Malcolm Brogdon in particular has made an impression, a good one, on Media Day. He spoke about the legacy of Dikembe Mutombo, who passed away yesterday.
“It’s a very, very sad day… his impact will be missed all over the world.”

There’s a lot more to unpack, but I have to get to my day job in a few. For now, chat in the comments! Wizards training camp also begins today!
