Former Wizards John Wall Brendan Haywood Join Monumental Broadcast Team for 2025-26 Season

Monumental Sports Network announced that former Washington Wizards stars John Wall and Brendan Haywood will join the Wizards' broadcast team for the 2025-26 NBA season, bringing their extensive basketball experience and connection to the D.C. community to fans. Wall, a five-time All-Star and franchise leader in assists and steals, will serve as a studio analyst for pregame and postgame shows, starting November 8, while Haywood will provide color commentary for select live games beginning November 1. Both are highly regarded by Monumental Sports' President Zach Leonsis for their deep knowledge, insight, and beloved status among Wizards fans. Wall, who retired after 11 NBA seasons this summer, expressed excitement about returning to Washington to continue his basketball journey in a new role. Haywood, a 13-year NBA veteran and 2011 NBA champion, will join the broadcast booth without replacing existing analysts, complementing the current team. This move continues Monumental Sports Network's tradition of featuring former players as analysts, enhancing coverage with authentic perspectives from those who understand what it means to represent D.C.
