Wizards to evaluate coach Scott Brooks before potential re-signing
Confirmation came from Washington’s GM Tommy Sheppard
No decision has been made on Washington Wizards coach Scott Brooks’ expiring contract, general manager Tommy Sheppard has said on Thursday. After the Wizards were eliminated by the Philadelphia 76ers in five games, Brooks was the top topic for the general manager and coach, with Sheppard saying an evaluation is likely to take place over the next few weeks. Brooks has just completed his 5th season at the helm of the Wizards.
“We are not doing anything about that today,” said Sheppard, who will talk to team owner Ted Leonsis about Brooks’ future. “We obviously are going to do a thorough evaluation from top to bottom of our whole organization and ways we can get better. But any questions about that stuff, that is not for today.”
