Newswise — It looks like the Washington Capitals and Wizards will be staying in D.C. after all. D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser and Ted Leonsis, owner of the two teams, signed a deal Wednesday that would keep the teams in downtown D.C. until 2050. The deal still needs to be approved by D.C. Council. The announcement abruptly ends an earlier planned move to bring the Wizards and Capitals to Virginia.
