Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon underwent surgery today to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb, sources tell @TheAthletic. Brogdon suffered the injury during practice Saturday in Montreal.

The interesting bits to me:

>“The past two years,” Davis told The Athletic on Sunday night, “a development coach from each year has been tinkering with my shot, messing with it. So I came back into this year, and I said, ‘Nobody is touching my jump shot. I’m just going to leave it as it is, leave it comfortable.’ And they’ve left me alone about it. So, it feels really good right now. I’ve been working on it the whole summer, so I’m just glad to see it pay off.”

>Davis said he made those tweaks with the help of his trainer in Wisconsin, James Fox.

>“I just feel like I know what’s going on on the court,” Coulibaly said Sunday night. “Last year, there was some times where I felt awkward on the court and I didn’t know what I was doing for real. But now I know what I gotta do, what Coach really wants me to do. So, I know where my spots are. I know where I’m going to get the ball. It makes it way easier for me.”

>And as his drive and runner in the third quarter showed, the right-wrist fracture he suffered last March that ended his rookie season prematurely might have been a blessing in disguise. It forced him to concentrate on developing his coordination with his off-hand.

>“Oh, man,” he said, breaking into a wide smile, “you don’t even know how much I worked on my left hand. It was crazy. I can shoot with my left hand now, too, because I’ve been working so much on my left hand. It was like six weeks straight shooting with my left hand, dribbling, passing, all of that.”

>Keefe also expects to have Coulibaly take more of a role handling the ball and initiating the offense.

>Even before that imaging took place, a league source told The Athletic that Brogdon is expected to miss at least one month.

Good deal, very tradable later on.

There's nothing specifically about direct-to-consumer streaming, but this seems like it's a step in that direction

We know Ted now owns NBC Sports Washington. Does that make it more or less likely that they follow other teams like the Jazz in setting up over-the-air and streaming packages?

The Washington Wizards have granted star Bradley Beal and his representatives permission to speak with teams the three-time All-Star has interest in being traded to, league sources tell B/R.

...

The Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks are expected to talk with Beal and his agent, Mark Bartelstein, sources say.

Another team that’s had Bradley Beal trade talks with the Wizards: The Kings, sources tell me and @sam_amick. It’s believed Beal would consider Sacramento given his no-trade clause, but right now there does not appear a clear pathway for the two sides.

>Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported today that the Wizards have begun to explore trades for Bradley Beal and that Michael Winger and Beal's agent will be in close contact about potential trades. Other reports have come out that the Wizards are interested in getting up into the top 3 of this year's NBA Draft. Bryce Simon of Motor City Hoops, the Pistons Pulse podcast, and Draft Digest joins the show to discuss who the Wizards should take at 8, what a Beal trade could look like, and how trading Beal could influence their draft philosophy. We basically discuss every prospect likely to go in this draft so tune into this mega draft preview / Beal trade discussion!

The Washington Wizards and Bradley Beal would work together to find a trade for the three-time All-Star if the team officials elect to reset the roster in the near future, league sources tell me and @ShamsCharania.

The Washington Wizards have a new executive team within their front office, with the hires of Michael Winger, Will Dawkins and Travis Schlenk. What does Josh Robbins think of the Wizards' new look, and what direction will Winger and Dawkins take?

>Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis and new President Michael Winger join The Woj Pod for separate visits on trying to turn this franchise into a winner. Leonsis on what he's learned about running NBA and NHL franchises, what he wanted in a new leader and what Jeanie Buss told him. Winger (19:15) discusses what he learned with Lawrence Frank, Sam Presti and Danny Ferry, how the new CBA will change deal-making in the NBA and what the chance for the Wizards to be a destination market.
