The Washington Wizards play the Brooklyn Nets tomorrow afternoon. Let’s get to the info.

Game info​

When: Saturday, Feb. 7 at 3 p.m. ET

Where: Barclays Center, New York City

How to watch: Monumental Sports Network, League Pass

Injuries: For the Wizards, Tre Johnson (ankle), Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring), Trae Young (knee, quad) and Cam Whitmore (shoulder), Dante Exum (knee) and Anthony Davis (finger) are out. Jaden Hardy and D’Angelo Russell are day-to-day due to various injuries.

For the Nets, Josh Minott and Ochai Agbaji are day-to-day.

What to watch for​

The Wizards upset the Detroit Pistons last night in what can be described as their signature win of the 2025-26 NBA season. They have also won four of their last six games!

Brooklyn in 13-37 this season and had lost 10 of their last 11 games. Things don’t appear to be as optimistic in the Big Apple’s other team (since the Knicks are doing real well) but playing against the Wizards should be a more even match than most of their previous ones. Hopefully Washington can get another big win tomorrow afternoon.

The Washington Wizards have requested waivers on Dante Exum, the team announced Sunday.

The Washington Wizards have requested waivers on guard Dante Exum.

— Wizards PR (@WizPRStats) February 8, 2026

Exum, 30, was acquired from Dallas in the Anthony Davis trade. The veteran guard was on an expiring $3.3 million contract.

After waiving Exum, Washington now has two open roster spots it can fill with standard NBA contracts. One of spots is currently being filled by the 10-day contract of Keshon Gilbert.

Washington could convert one of its two-way players — Tristan Vukcevic, Jamir Watkins, Sharife Cooper — to a standard NBA deal with one of those roster spots.
