Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis said his team will "never, ever tank," per Candace Buckner and Scott Allen of the Washington Post, and he received assurances from his star player the strategy will work this season.
"Bradley Beal told me, 'We got enough. We're going to make the playoffs. We're not going to let you down,'" Leonsis said. "So who am I to change the goals? We said, 'No excuses.' It would be easy to say we have so many players out injured, but we're not going to do that.
