82 games! 82 games! He's fired up! The number one glass cannon superstar.

A few days ago, Brow attended the Fanatic Fest celebration event and was interviewed by reporter Moree Myles. When asked how many games he would play next season, he confidently said, "82 games."

Former NBA player Jeff Teague bluntly refuted, "I'd bet $100,000 that Brow will definitely not play 82 games, not even 70 games."

Since entering the NBA in 2012, Brow has never played a full 82-game regular season in his entire career. His attendance over the past six seasons is as follows:

2020-21 season: 36 games;

2021-22 season: 40 games;

2022-23 season: 56 games;

2023-24 season: 76 games;

2024-25 season: 51 games;

2025-26 season: 20 games.

He couldn't even play a full season when he was younger, let alone at the age of 33 now. Moreover, his fragility has worsened in recent years. In his previous two seasons with the Mavericks, he played only 29 games combined due to various injuries.

Of course, Brow's "confidence" is understandable because he is at a critical stage of contract extension,It is said that he is expected to seek a four-year max contract worth $275 million with the Wizards, even though he hasn't played a single game for his new team yet.

It is worth mentioning that recently the Wizards reached a four-year, $212 million extension contract with 27-year-old Trae Young. Both he and Brow were traded to Washington midway through last season, but Young has already played five games, which can be considered a successful trial. He averaged 15.2 points, 3 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 20.8 minutes per game, with shooting percentages of 59.5%, 42.9%, and 70.8%.

In short, it's fine to want big money, but the prerequisite is to prove your value first. Otherwise, don't expect the team to be a charity.

Back to the point, if Brow does not complete an extension with the Wizards this summer, then next season will be his quasi-contract year. In the summer of 2027, he can choose to decline the $62.78 million player option for the 2027-28 season and enter free agency early.
