The Washington Wizards officially ushered in a new era on Thursday with the District Debut event at The Wharf in Southwest D.C. The day began with an introductory press conference welcoming No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa to the nation’s capital at M Street Landing in Southwest before transitioning into an outdoor celebration with fans.
“What an unbelievably exciting week for Washington, and especially for Monumental Basketball fans,” said Monumental Sports & Entertainment President of Media Zach Leonsis on X. “We are giving Wizards fans the opportunity to be among the first to welcome [AJ Dybantsa] to D.C., because building the future of basketball in Washington starts with the fans who make it possible.”
