The Washington Wizards still have embattled guard Jordan Poole's back, even after he cratered with a season-worst showing in Friday's blowout loss to the New York Knicks. After the loss, Tyus Jones said that he and the rest of the Wizards are trying to make sure that Poole stays positive, and expressed confidence that things will turn around before long for his backcourt partner.

Washington is 2-9 and has one of the NBA's worst defenses. So why is its head coach safe? For many NBA franchises, that would be sufficient grounds to fire a coach who has compiled a 72-103 cumulative record.

According to the Washington Post, when longtime Wizards star John Wall returned to D.C. as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers in 2022, the broadcast was reportedly told not to air a package that commemorated his nine seasons there, even though it had already been put together by staffers.
