The Washington Wizards are embracing their French connection this preseason, with players eager to learn French phrases for trash talk ahead of their season opener against the Boston Celtics.
With the addition of young French talents Bilal Coulibaly, Alexandre Sarr, and Kyshawn George, the Wizards are focused on rebuilding rather than immediate success. General manager Will Dawkins emphasizes incremental progress as the team's measure of success this season.
Despite low expectations, the team is fostering excitement among fans, especially with plans for French heritage night and a focus on international marketing.
