The 2005–06 Washington Wizards season was the team's 45th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 45-37 output from the previous season. They came up three games short of matching it, finishing 42-40, but qualified for the playoffs for the second straight season.[1] In January 2006, the MCI Center's name was changed to Verizon Center, which lasted until 2017.
