'Don't Matter,' AJ Dybantsa Reacts to Highlight Video From Wizards vs. Pistons, 'Need More Dubs'

Despite his own individual success early in his rookie season, AJ Dybantsa is only focused on helping the Washington Wizards win more games.

After ESPN posted a highlight video on X of Dybantsa's performance in Monday's 122-111 loss to the Detroit Pistons, the Wizards forward quoted it by writing "don't matter. need more dubs."

Against a Pistons team that has the No. 3 defensive rating in the NBA, Dybantsa put up 21 points on 8-of-17 shooting with eight rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes.

Despite the additions of Anthony Davis and Trae Young into the lineup, the Wizards are struggling offensively. They rank 23rd in rating and 26th in points per game.

Those issues have started to show up amid the Wizards' ongoing four-game losing streak after a 4-3 start. They have allowed at least 114 points in every game during this skid.

Washington's schedule has been difficult with two games against the Atlanta Hawks, followed by road games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Pistons.

Things won't get much easier for a bit after Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. The Wizards' following three games will be at home vs. the Pistons, Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies.

Washington's 4-7 record overall is tied with the Charlotte Hornets for ninth in the Eastern Conference. On the bright side, the Wizards' fourth win last season didn't come until Dec. 14, so this is positive progress.

Dybantsa, the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA draft, has started seven straight games after missing the first four games of the regular season due to a sprained ankle. He is averaging 16.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest.
