Washington Wizards teammates Montrezl Harrell and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had to be separated by teammates during an altercation while walking to the locker room at halftime of Tuesday's game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Harrell was reportedly frustrated with Caldwell-Pope not passing him the ball toward the end of the second quarter. The two attempted to punch each other but neither connected before teammates intervened, per Charania.
The Wizards came back to beat the Thunder 122-118.
The veterans arrived in Washington together, along with Kyle Kuzma, from the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster trade centered around former MVP Russell Westbrook this past offseason.
