Arizona alum Joseph Blair leaves Timberwolves to join Wizards’ coaching staff

Joseph Blair’s stint coaching the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Summer League team has ended early but for good reason. According to Fred Katz of The Athletic, Blair is joining the Washington Wizards coaching staff.

The Wizards are hiring Joseph Blair to join Wes Unseld Jr.’s coaching staff, sources tell @JonKrawczynski & myself. Blair spent 2020-21 as a assistant with the Timberwolves & was an assistant with the 76ers before that. He joins Pat Delany & Mike Miller on the front of the bench.
