There’s a major difference between this season’s Wizards themed parties and past parties. There is only one heritage night at the moment, which is Jewish Heritage Night on February 2. In previous seasons, the Wizards often held heritage nights for every player who was not American.
Do you remember Japanese Heritage Nights with Rui Hachimura or Polish Heritage Night with Marcin Gortat? Although Bilal Coulibaly, the Wizards’ first-round pick, is French, there is no French Heritage Night. No Italian Heritage Night for Danilo Gallinari. While the DMV is certainly a melting pot of melting pots, it seems like this year the marketing team is focusing more on DMV natives.
That’s not to say that most of these heritage nights are over. It’s just that they haven’t been highlighted yet.
