He’s already guarded a slew of All-Stars less than 20 games into his #NBA career. Tonight’s assignment for Herbert Jones is Bradley Beal. Josh Hart on Dinwiddie, while Graham gets KCP, who is primarily a spot-up shooter – 8:12 PM

PJ Washington will be a game time decision. James Borrego said he’s not sure yet if Washington will play. He will go through pregame workouts and see where he’s at.

Wizards center Thomas Bryant made an appearance on the newest season of “Selling Sunset” which debuted today on Netflix.
Bryant sold his 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom, 5,800 sqft home and put an offer in on a smaller home with a better view and an easier commute.
