Thankfully, the Washington Wizards waited until April 2. Breaking this news as a joke on April Fools Day would’ve just been cruel.
No jokes here, though. Folks, today is the day many Wizards fans have been waiting years for. Today, the Wizards announced that Ernie Grunfeld is no longer president of the team.
Official: We have relieved Ernie Grunfeld of his duties as Team President.https://t.co/a811eQj4Ws

The Wizards will begin their search for a new president immediately. Senior Vice President Tommy Sheppard will serve as the interim president and will be among the candidates to replace Grunfeld.
