Washington Wizards gewinnen NBA-Draft-Lotterie 2026

Die Washington Wizards haben sich am Sonntag durch den Gewinn der NBA-Draft-Lotterie den ersten Pick im Draft 2026 gesichert. Der Erfolg markiert eine bedeutende Wende für ein Franchise, das jahrelang unter verlustreichen Saisons und schlechten Ergebnissen bei der Lotterie gelitten hat.

Die Wizards gingen mit den besten Chancen in die Lotterie, nachdem sie zum dritten Mal in Folge eine der schlechtesten Bilanzen der Liga aufwiesen. Sie setzten sich bei der Ziehung gegen die Pacers und die Nets durch und sicherten sich den obersten Auswahlplatz. Damit beendeten sie eine Pechsträhne, durch die ihnen zuvor in Drafts mit Spielern wie Zion Williamson, Victor Wembanyama und Cooper Flagg der erste Pick verwehrt geblieben war.
