[Saba Sports News] The Washington Wizards’ challenging season deteriorated further following a 109-97 defeat to the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies, a situation Kyle Kuzma sharply criticized.
Despite Memphis entering the game with 13 of their 18 players sidelined and heavily relying on two-way contract players, the Wizards failed to capitalize.
Kuzma’s harsh critique post-game emphasized a lack of respect for the sport and themselves, as reported by Josh Robbins of The Athletic. His comments reflect the frustration within a team that, despite a dismal 11-54 record, had entered the game with a rare win streak, eyeing what seemed like a feasible victory against the depleted Grizzlies.
“We disrespected the game,” Kuzma said. “We disrespected ourselves.”
This loss, amidst a season riddled with disappointments, arguably marks one of the lowest points for the Wizards.
