Wizards Tie Franchise Record with 16th Loss

The Washington Wizards have tied their franchise record for consecutive losses, suffering their 16th straight defeat with a 137-101 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. This marks the second consecutive season the Wizards have experienced a 16-game losing streak, and they have not won since October 28. With their current roster struggling for cohesion and missing key players like Kyle Kuzma and Corey Kispert, the front office is reportedly exploring trade options for veterans Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Kuzma. The Wizards face a challenging schedule ahead, with their next four opponents all having winning records. Meanwhile, the Mavericks' Luka Doncic recorded his 78th career triple-double, further highlighting the disparity between the teams. As the Wizards prepare to host the Denver Nuggets, there is a looming possibility of setting a new franchise record for consecutive losses.
