The 2016–17 Washington Wizards season marked the franchise's 56th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and its 44th in the Washington, D.C. area. On April 14, 2016, the Wizards parted ways with Randy Wittman, their former head coach, after the team failed to secure a playoff berth.^{[1] [2]} Shortly thereafter, on April 26, 2016, the Wizards appointed Scott Brooks, formerly the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, as their new head coach.^[3] The Wizards successfully clinched a playoff berth on March 24, 2017, with a 129–108 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, thus ending their one-season absence from the playoffs. Furthermore, on March 28, 2017, the Wizards emerged victorious against the Los Angeles Lakers with a score of 119–108, securing their first division title since 1979 and ending their 38-year drought that dated back to their era as the Bullets.

The Wizards finished the regular season with a 49–33 record, securing the 4th seed. In the playoffs, the Wizards defeated the Atlanta Hawks in six games in the First Round, advancing to the Semifinals, where they lost to the Boston Celtics in a hard fought seven games.

Draft picks

See main article: 2016 NBA draft.

The Wizards did not have a pick in the 2016 NBA draft, as they had traded both picks prior to the draft:^[4]

• The first-round pick was traded away to the Phoenix Suns along with Kris Humphries and DeJuan Blair in exchange for Markieff Morris.
• The second-round pick was traded away to the Atlanta Hawks, along with the rights to Jerian Grant and a second-round pick in the 2019 NBA draft, to allow the Wizards to move up in the 2015 NBA draft and acquire the rights to Kelly Oubre Jr.
