One day after the Washington Wizards announced they would remain in Washington D.C. for the foreseeable future, the team lost to the only team with more losses than they have in the 2023-24 season. The Detroit Pistons outlasted a Washington comeback to win 96-87 in a slugfest of a basketball game. The Wizards fall to 14-60 on the season as the Pistons remain at the bottom of the NBA with a record of 13-61. (Reminder: the Wizards had no incentive to lose the game as the teams with the three worst records each have a 14% of getting the first overall selection in the NBA draft lottery).
