D.C. sports fans may not have known the name Walter Wiggins Jr., but chances are they knew who he was. Wiggins, a D.C. native who died at 72 on May 10, was a fixture in the crowd at Washington Wizards and Commanders games, among other local professional and high school sporting events, where he danced and pumped his arms in support of his teams. To many, he was known simply as the “Pump It Up Man.”
What are your plans for the next couple of months with regard to preparing for next season? Bilal Coulibaly: I’m working on my game a lot. I’ll focus on my handle and my three-point shooting so I can come back and feel way smoother and more comfortable on the court. I’ll be in DC, I’ll be probably in Dallas for a little bit too because my agency is based there, so I’ll be working out with them. I’ll be in France too so anywhere I go I’ll be working on my game.
Samantha Holloway, who hails from Washington, D.C., has a lot to manage in her day-to-day with the Kraken. But she’s also constantly keeping an ear to NBA expansion talks. She’s ready to act if Silver gives it the green light—but knows she needs to be careful not to overpromise, lest she underdeliver. “[My dad] said to somebody, ‘You know, I make no promises,’” Holloway tells Front Office Sports about reviving the Sonics. “And I feel like I certainly wouldn’t promise. There are so many unknowns, and I mean, first of all, it’s a privilege to even be considered. We’re waiting for the NBA and expansion may be on its radar, and it may not be.”

Malik Monk: 'We bought in to what Doug Christie is doing. We all just bought into it'
The Kings front office has yet to face questions over the reasoning for firing Brown, but collectively the players point to better communication. “We bought in to what DC is doing,” Monk said. “We all just bought into it, and we all feel good and confident in what he’s saying. He played before so I think he knows how to say it to us a little better than people that didn’t play the game before.”
Josh Robbins: Jordan Poole, who aggravated his left hip contusion during Friday's game, will not play in today's game in D.C. against the Pelicans, per the Wizards' injury report. Poole originally was listed as questionable to play.
