Washington, D.C. provides the perfect location to deliver on this ambition, where we are excited to be partnering with Monumental Sports & Entertainment and Events DC to bring the Spring Final to a city with such a rich history of hosting leading sporting events.”
The venue in which the Spring Finals will take place is also the home of the NBA G League team Capital City Go-Go, a team affiliated with the Washington Wizards.
