"Looking forward to a great season!" The Wizards hosted a day filled with fun at Open Practice in DC ahead of their 202 Via @NBA on X

What happened: The Wizards staged an open practice in DC ahead of their 2026-27 season debut against the Bucks. The event doubled as a public fan day as Washington moved from offseason programming toward its first game on the calendar.

Why it matters: The open practice gave Washington a fan-facing stop before the schedule turns to games later this month. It also extended the ramp-up that began with the Wizards' July mini camp as the club shifts closer to opening night.

By the numbers: Nineteen days separate the DC open practice from Washington's Oct. 21 season debut against Milwaukee.

What to watch: Next up is the Oct. 21 matchup with the Bucks, the first scheduled game of Washington's 2026-27 season. Rotation and roster clues should come into sharper focus as that date nears.
