In an exciting development for the Washington Wizards, Monumental Basketball President Michael Winger has announced that Brian Keefe will take on the role of interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Keefe, who has been serving as the team's lead assistant since July, brings with him a wealth of coaching experience spanning over 17 seasons.

Prior to joining the Wizards, Keefe spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the Brooklyn Nets, where he proved his expertise and dedication to the sport. Throughout his career, he has also contributed to several prominent teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, and New York Knicks. Keefe's time as an assistant coach with the Thunder occurred during the 2019-20 and 2007-14 seasons, while he served with the Lakers from 2016 to 2019 and the Knicks from 2014 to 2016.

Keefe's NBA journey began as a video coordinator for the San Antonio Spurs from 2005 to 2007. During his tenure with the Spurs, the team celebrated a significant achievement by clinching the 2007 NBA championship, highlighting Keefe's early contributions to the sport.

While Keefe assumes the role of interim head coach, the Wizards plan to conduct an extensive search for a permanent head coach during the offseason.
