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.
Go-Go ble grunnlagt i 2018 som et av åtte nye ekspansjonslag i NBA G League. Lagets navn er en referanse til den lokale musiksjangeren go-go, som er populær i Washington, D.C.
Lagets hjemmebane er Entertainment and Sports Arena i Congress Heights-området i Washington, D.C. Go-Go har en kapasitet på 4200 tilskuere.
Go-Go har ennå ikke vunnet et NBA G League-mesterskap, men de har nådd sluttspillet tre ganger på rad siden 2021. Laget er kjent for sitt høye tempo og underholdende spillestil.
Noen av de mest kjente spillerne som har spilt for Go-Go inkluderer Devin Robinson, Jordan Bone og Isaac Bonga.
