The Capital City Go-Go are an American professional basketball team in the NBA G League based in Washington, D.C.. They are affiliated with the Washington Wizards, and play their home games at the CareFirst Arena. The team is owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment.
History In December 2017, the Washington Wizards unveiled the Capital City Go-Go's name and released their logo. The team's name alludes to the go-go music genre that emerged in Washington, D.C., in the mid-1960s to late 1970s. On August 7, 2018, the Washington Wizards named Pops Mensah-Bonsu as general manager and Jarell Christian as head coach. After one season, Christian joined the Wizards as an assistant coach and was replaced by Ryan Richman. Following the pandemic-curtailed 2019–20 season, Pops Mensah-Bonsu left the team. The Go-Go were one of several teams to opt out of the abbreviated 2020–21 bubble season in Orlando, and the Wizards came to an agreement to loan players to the Erie BayHawks. The Wizards then assigned Amber Nichols as Capital City's general manager and to work alongside their players with the BayHawks, becoming the second woman to hold that position in the G League after the College Park Skyhawks' Tori Miller.
