About Brooklyn Nets vs. Washington Wizards
The trades between the Washington Wizards and the Brooklyn Nets early this year made the 2024 NBA season all the more exciting. The trades make a lot of sense since the Wizards are looking for depth in their lineup, while the Nets need draft picks. As a result, the Wizards traded guard-forward Marcus Thornton, forward Andrew Nicholson and a 2017 first-round pick to the Nets for forward Chris McCullough and shooting guard Bojan Bogdanovic. While not a rivalry yet, the Wizards–Nets games may develop into one. After all such trades in the past have led to animosity between the teams and the players.
The Washington Wizards and the Brooklyn Nets have played a total of 182 regular season games between them, making many memorable moments in NBA history.
