WIZ BOUNCE SCOTT BROOKS: MAKING PLAYOFFS COULDN’T SAVE COACHING JOB

By Lewis Gould

ESPN’S Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that Scott Brooks is gone as Wizards coach after they failed to come to an agreement on a new deal.

Brooks had just led the Wizards to the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. His contract expired after Washington’s first-round loss to the Sixers and Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard said earlier this month that the team needed to evaluate Brooks.

In five seasons, Brooks was 183-207 with three playoff appearances, including making the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2016-17. The Wizards went 34-38 this season.

The Wizards will enter a coaching search while also trying to settle the future of Bradley Beal, who is entering the final year of his contract next season.
