The Wizards compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.

In 1973, the team moved to the Washington metropolitan area and changed its name first to the Capital Bullets, then the following season to Washington Bullets. In 1997, they rebranded themselves as the Wizards.
