The Washington Wizards, holding the worst record in the NBA, will not appear on national television this season. Their scheduled game against the Phoenix Suns on January 16 has been replaced by a matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder, both leading their conferences.

Despite the intrigue surrounding players like Tyus Jones and Bradley Beal returning to face their former team, the Wizards' lack of national exposure highlights their struggles this season. They will continue to be featured only on local broadcasts.
