Los Washington Wizards ganan la lotería del draft de la NBA de 2026

Los Washington Wizards aseguraron la primera selección general en el draft de la NBA de 2026 tras ganar la lotería de la liga el domingo. La victoria marca un cambio significativo para una franquicia que ha soportado años de temporadas perdedoras y malos resultados en la lotería.

Los Wizards llegaron a la lotería con las mejores probabilidades tras registrar uno de los peores récords de la liga por tercer año consecutivo. Derrotaron a los Pacers y a los Nets en el sorteo para obtener la primera elección, poniendo fin a una racha de mala suerte que anteriormente les había negado la primera selección en los drafts que incluyeron a Zion Williamson, Victor Wembanyama y Cooper Flagg.
