The Washington Wizards remain among the NBA’s worst teams at filling seats for home games. The trend is nothing new. Washington has remained among the bottom 10 or even bottom five. For a point of reference, in 2016-17, the Wizards filled 17,002 seats, or 83.8 percent of their seats at the then-Verizon Center, 27th in the league. In that season, the Wizards won the Southeast Division title and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
This season, the Wizards have 15,583 paid seats per game at Capital One Arena. That average is 27th in the NBA.
