Once introductions for the game against the Dallas Mavericks were complete Friday night, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope delivered a direct message to Washington Wizards teammate Kristaps Porzingis.
“We called up the huddle and I told him, ‘KP, since they let you go, we’re going to beat them up for you,’” Caldwell-Pope said. “That was the first thing I said to him, and we did exactly that.”
Porzingis had 24 points and nine rebounds in his first game against his former team, helping Washington roll past Dallas 135-103.
