If you’ve followed the Washington Wizards over the last decade and a half, you’re probably familiar with Michael Lee’s work. Lee covered the Wizards and the greater NBA for The Washington Post from 2004-2015. From 2015 to 2018 he was the senior NBA writer for Yahoo! and then held a similar position at The Athletic from 2018 to 2020.
Lee is now back at the Post as a member of the Sports Enterprise team. His coverage will focus on race, gender, diversity, and the broader role sports play in shaping and reflecting our society.
He is also one of the few reporters whose coverage of the Wizards spanned the tenures of both Gilbert Arenas and John Wall.
