Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Locked On Wizards, Ben Strober and Abdullah Ayubi dive into the Washington Wizards’ ongoing struggles with physicality, highlighted by their recent loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The conversation also covers Marvin Bagley's resurgence and whether trading him at the deadline would be a mistake.
