Entering Thursday’s matchup in Denver, the Wizards had lost eight-straight games. With the All-Star break providing teams with much-needed rest, Washington looked to turn things around in the Mile High city.
A big shake up occurred prior to tip-off, with Jordan Poole benched and Bilal Coulibaly entering the starting lineup. Poole’s benching was something many fans desired, as the hope is it will help Poole get back to his old ways. As for Bilal, he’ll enjoy a larger role as the new starting SG for what is expected to be the rest of this season.
