Washington is 17-63 with two games remaining
The Washington Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 122-103 on Wednesday, dropping to 17-63 on the season.
Washington’s starting five — Bub Carrington, AJ Johnson, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Alex Sarr — had an average age of 20.4.
Sarr paced the Wizards in the first quarter with a quick eight points, following up on his 16-point opening frame from the previous night against Indiana. The Wizards entered the second quarter trailing 25-23 despite Quinten Grimes shooting 0-for-7 from the field.
George had a sequence in the second frame where he locked up Lonnie Walker so bad that Walker shoved George to the ground in frustration, which drew a Flagrant 1 foul after further review.
Philadelphia pulled ahead in the second quarter before Washington clawed back to trail by just three at halftime, 53-50.
Sarr picked up his 100th career block in the third quarter, but Philadelphia grew its lead to double-digits as it looked to snap a 12-game losing streak. Jeff Dowtin Jr.’s 30-point night helped the Sixers do just that, defeating the Wizards 122-103.
Tristan Vukcevic scored a career-high 24 points on 3-for-4 shooting from three in the loss. Washington finished the season 8-32 at home and fell to 17-63 on the year with just two games remaining.
