The Washington Wizards expect Brian Keefe to return as their head coach in 2026-27, continuing the franchise’s rebuilding effort after a difficult season in the standings.
Washington made major roster additions by bringing in Anthony Davis and Trae Young, but the changes did not translate into wins. The Wizards finished the season with the NBA’s worst record, underscoring the scale of the turnaround still ahead.
Rebuild remains the focus
Despite the high-profile acquisitions, the Wizards’ results placed them at the bottom of the league, keeping the organization in rebuild mode. Keefe is expected to remain in place as Washington looks to build on its current foundation following a season defined by roster change and continued struggles in the win column.
