The Brooklyn Nets erased a deficit to beat the Washington Wizards on Sunday, a victory that simultaneously weakened the team’s position in the upcoming NBA draft lottery.
The result, recorded on April 5, 2026, means Brooklyn moves farther from the bottom of the standings, reducing the odds of securing a higher pick when draft positions are determined.
The comeback win delivers a short-term morale boost but could prove costly when the lottery order is set later this year.
