WASHINGTON, D.C. – Wizards District Gaming has acquired power forward Dayfri (Ryan Conger) from Mavs Gaming for its 2019 first-round draft pick (14th overall pick), the team announced today.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Dayfri to Wizards D.G.,” Grant Paranjape, Director of Esports Business and Team Operations at Monumental Sports & Entertainment, said. “Dayfri is an incredibly versatile player who stood out to us through both his play on the court, as well as his character off the court. By combining his talents with our retained duo of Boo and Demon JT, we are confident we have crafted a strong core of players that are capable of competing each and every week this upcoming season.”
