The Washington Wizards entered the season with several intriguing young players, most notably headlined by the likes of players such as Alex Sarr and Tre Johnson. Sarr had the opportunity to prove he could be the cornerstone player the Wizards have desperately been searching for, especially if he was able to showcase his potential as the two-way threat Washington was banking on him developing into in the frontcourt.
The Washington Wizards fell to the Milwaukee Bucks 133-120 in Wednesday's regular season opener. Washington drop to a double-digit deficit early in the first quarter after a slow start offensively was overcome by struggles on the defensive end. The Wizards bounced back in the second half, outscoring the Bucks 67-61 to cut their lead down to size. However, in the end, Brian Keefe's squad struggled to overcome the early hole they dug themselves in, even with the strong second half put together by Washington.
