The Washington Wizards are removing Wes Unseld Jr. as head coach and moving him to a front-office role, the team said on Thursday.

In a statement, Monumental basketball president Michael Winger said, “a change was needed for the benefit of the team.”

Unseld Jr. was hired in 2021 and has compiled a record of 77-130 in the two-and-a-half seasons with the Wizards.

An interim coach will be named in the future, and a “comprehensive search” for a new head coach will be done during the offseason.
