Tensions were high during Tuesday night’s game between the Washington Wizards and Oklahoma City Thunder with teammates Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Montrezl Harrell having to be separated after getting into a physical altercation during halftime, according to a report.
Sources told The Athletic that Harrell and Caldwell-Pope began "jawing" on the way back to the locker room before eventually swinging at one another – both failing to make contact. Washington players had to step in to separate the pair.
