Can the Wizards win one for Phil Chenier?
The Wizards are retiring Phil Chenier’s number during Friday’s game, a fitting tribute for someone who gave so much to the franchise as a player and as a color commentator for so many years. He was a key part of the team’s success in the 1970’s, but didn’t get to enjoy the fruits of the team’s 1978 title due to a back injury he suffered early in that season. A win on Friday would be a great way to put a better capper on Chenier’s career in Washington.
