Washington Wizards guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and center Montrezl Harrell were in a physical altercation during halftime of Tuesday night’s home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Capital One Arena as reported by The Athletic.

Sources say that Harrell was upset with Caldwell-Pope for a mess up in a play where the ball wasn’t passed to him. The conversation between the two players escalated as Harrell swung on KCP and it was reported that they had to be separated by other teammates.

Security was increased to make sure the tension didn’t start up again. KCP and Harrell did return for the remaining half of the game where the team pulled out a win! See more on this story here.

Harrell is known as the energy source for the Wizards and brings the toughness that the team needs. He was recently in an altercation with Joel Embiid during the Wiz vs Sixers game in December 2021.

Congrats to the Milwaukee Bucks as they are the 2021 NBA World Champions! This means congratulations not only go to the team leaders; Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday but also to ex Washington Wizards Forward Bobby Portis. Text DCnews to 52140 For Local & Exclusive News Sent Directly To You! Bobby Portis has now joined the list of NBA players who played for the Wizards while the team was struggling then leave to almost immediately win the championship in a new city and different jersey. It has become a trend for the Wizards to see players find more success somewhere else after their time in DC. NBC Sports Washington's Chase Hughes notes that "In fact, [the 2020 Lakers Championship] was the fourth straight year the NBA champion had at least one former Wizards player in the fold. And during that four-year span, no other NBA team has had more former players win rings than the Wizards". https://twitter.com/Bucks/status/1417700338589573127?s=20 After Tuesday night's win against the Phoenix Suns, the Bucks brought the second championship to Milwaukee and now Portis becomes the 8th Wiz kid over these past few years to continue this streak. Take a look at the list of ex-Wizards and their Larry O'Brien Championship Trophies below...
