Danny Abdia after his season-high record against Utah (Wizards official website)
For the first time after four consecutive games, Danny Abdia was stopped tonight (Sunday to Monday) for a single-digit number of points when Washington was defeated 117:96 by Philadelphia, but the most important moment he had was the Israeli forward partner in this game was not related to basketball.
During the fourth quarter, Abdia clashed with Davis Bartans in a drop to a timeout as teammates and players in Washington were forced to split between the two to prevent the situation from getting worse.
The confrontation took place about 4 minutes to the end when the Wizards were already indelibly behind, and the Latvians were angry about Abdia's attempt to get the ball in the post instead of blocking it.
After the ball was not handed to him, the Israeli went out to block Bartans with a demonstrated lack of desire, the Latvian threw a hard three and immediately afterwards came a timeout, where Bartans stood face to face with Abdia and threw blames at him.
Abdia did not remain obligated, and one of the assistant coaches approached him along with Spencer Dinvidi to calm the spirits, as the forward looked agitated following Bartens' criticism.

In the game itself, Abdia came close to a double double, with 9 points and 9 rebounds in 29 minutes, which, as mentioned, interrupted a sequence of four games in which the Israeli scored in double digits, while his percentages from the field also dropped from the 69% to only 40%.
However, the forward provided the constant effort in defense and rebounds, and also activated his teammates on a number of occasions with 4 assists in total.
The Israeli's most notable offensive move came in the first quarter, when he received a ball on the three-point arc and immediately lowered it to the floor in front of Joel Ambide's save.
Abdia has a beautiful room on the oversized vault, on the way to a basket that has won praise both on the broadcast and from one of the journalists covering the Wizards, Josh Robbins from Athletic.
"Abdia penetrated and used the body to defend the ball and score a hard basket on Ambide. This basket is a sign of Abdia's growing confidence and determination on the offensive side. It's a compliment for any player to score on Ambide," Robbins tweeted.
