. However, following that victory to start the year on a positive note, the Wizards would follow it up with a second losing streak of 16 straight games from January 3 through the end of the month, recording only 1 win in January and sitting on a 6-41 overall record.

February

The Wizards snapped their second 16-game losing streak at the start of February, replacing it with a 3-game win streak, going undefeated on their roadtrip that took them through Minnesota, Charlotte, and Brooklyn, with the win against Minnesota their first road win of the season since the October 28th match in Atlanta.

as "Team Rooks," though the duo didn't win the challenge. Following the All-Star Break, the Wizards returned to action at Capital One Arena, where Middleton and Kuzma were set to face each other as members of the club opposite from where they started the year. Despite leading the entire first half and part of the third quarter, the Wizards defense collapsed while George and Poole's poor shooting performance spoiled the Wizards return, losing 104-101 against the Bucks. The Wizards would only notch one more win on their belt, a 107-99 performance against the Nets and the first time all season they held an opponent below 100 points. The Wizards would finish the month 4-7; with a 10-48 overall record, the team finally achieving a double-digit number of wins, avoiding all-time infamy below the previous Charlotte Bobcats or Philadelphia 76ers teams' performances that were initially projected from them at the time.

March

On March 3, the Wizards decided to sign Champagnie to a full contract, upgrading him from his initial two-way deal. After making room on the roster, the team then filled the empty two-way spot by claiming JT Thor off waivers from the Cavaliers. On the court, the Wizards managed to complete a seasonal sweep of both the Hornets and Nuggets during this month, winning every match they faced against those teams. In the final match against the Nuggets, a 126-123 win on March 15, Sarr achieved a career-high 34 points, and became the first rookie in Washington's history to have at least 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in the same game. Despite this being the most successful month the team had compared to others in the season, this month also saw Coulibaly and Kispert both shut down due to season-ending injuries. Also, the team was officially eliminated from playoff contention for the 4th year in a row, on March 21, after a 120-105 loss to the Magic. However, the team finished March with a 6-11 record in the month, a 16-59 overall record, surpassing their nadir from last season.

April

On April 3, despite the team losing to the Magic, Carrington set several highs similar to Sarr the previous month, with a performance that included 32 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists. In addition, Carrington's seven made 3-pointers broke a franchise record for most 3-point shots made by a rookie in one game since

was otherwise the star of the show, achieving his first double-double on a career-high 28 point, 11 rebound performance. The Wizards ended April with a 2-5 record for the month, finishing with an overall 18-64 record.
