The 2021–22 Washington Wizards season was the 61st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 48th in the Washington, D.C. area. After a first-round exit from last year, Scott Brooks agreed to part ways with the Wizards on June 16, 2021.[1][2] Wes Unseld Jr. would be hired as the next head coach on July 17, 2021.[3]

The Wizards were eliminated from postseason contention on March 31 after an Atlanta Hawks win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Entering the draft, the Wizards only had pick #15 as their natural selection, which they used to draft Corey Kispert.[4] However, before the draft, the Wizards pulled off a blockbuster trade that sent Russell Westbrook and two future second-round picks to the Los Angeles Lakers for multiple players and the rights to the Lakers' 2021 first-round pick (which became Isaiah Jackson) at #22.[5] Later that night, the Wizards traded the draft rights to Jackson to the Indiana Pacers for Aaron Holiday and the rights to pick #31 (Isaiah Todd).[5]
