AJ Dybantsa looked excellent in his NBA debut. But the Wizards were plagued by familiar problems — rebounding and three-point shooting. On Dybantsa's outing, plus the early-season issues: washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

Analysis | AJ Dybantsa is flashing promise, but the Wizards still have problems to solve

The No. 1 overall pick led Washington with 19 points in Wednesday’s loss at Cleveland.

For record-tying seventh straight year, D.C. United fails to qualify for MLS playoffs — a humiliating absurdity in a playoff-happy league. DCU hasn’t won a playoff game in 11 years. Players, coaches, GMs and technical directors have come and gone. One constant.

The Wizards blow a 13-point lead, losing 121-111 in Cleveland. It's their 17th straight loss to the Cavs. AJ Dybantsa went for a team-high 19 points in his debut. The No. 1 overall pick looked great. But Washington was again dominated on the glass, getting outrebounded by 20.

Tonight is A.J. Dybantsa's NBA debut and he already has more alley-oops in the NBA than he did his entire college career. We're not even 2 min. into the 2nd half.

No new RFK stadium on the NCAA’s list of finalists to host the 2032-36 Final Fours. Denver and Kansas City are. Both are building new stadiums targeted to open in 2031, a year AFTER the Commanders’ new stadium is scheduled to open. Mayor Bowser pitched the partly taxpayer-funded stadium as a magnet for major sporting events. A source told me the Commanders are “disappointed” but ultimately its District’s job to attract major events. A Mayor’s spokesperson referred questions to Events DC.

Ten months ago, Malik Washington publicly pledged his future to Maryland. With Mike Locksley gone, the quarterback isn’t making that promise again. Sidney Stewart acknowledged he must reevaluate his future, too. baltimoresun.com/2026/10/27/…

Sidney Stewart on if Mike Locksley’s departure makes him re-evaluate his future: “I think that’s a pretty obvious answer that, yes, I have to re-evaluate the future. But ultimately, I got five more games to play. … All I got to do is attack these last five games.”

Jim Smith speaks on Maryland's coaching search. Says "Maryland is an incredibly attractive job." "There's not an agency that represents coaches that haven't already reached out with a possible candidate ... we will get a really good coach."
