Today at 12 p.m. EST, the Wizards will introduce Michael Winger, the new President of Monumental Basketball. His introductory press conference will be available on the Wizards’ digital channels (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook) and the radio at 106.7 The Fan and Team 980.
Winger has been with the Clippers since 2017. Prior to that, he spent seven years working under Sam Presti in Oklahoma City. And before that, he worked under Danny Ferry in Cleveland from 2005 to 2010. During those stints, he has never worked for a team that didn’t finish with a winning record. This was likely an appealing selling point for Ted Leonsis, who attributed Tommy Sheppard’s dismissal to his failure to make the playoffs.
