The Washington Wizards recorded a second straight win tonight (Tuesday-Wednesday) when they defeated Oklahoma City 118: 122 after a particularly close game.
Danny Abdia, who together with the fans in the stands (who flooded the field with Israeli flags) marked the eve of Jewish heritage, continued to go down in the hardwood minutes, this time settling for 18 minutes in which he scored 7 points (3 of 4 from the field including 1 of 2 of the three). Two rebounds, a steal and two fouls.
Even before the match and in light of the reports of Washington's interest in Jeremy Grant from Detroit (and add to that the return of Roy Hachimura, who bites into Danny Abdia's minutes), the US commented on the possibility of the Israeli forward or one of the other young players leaving the team. After the trade deadline.

One of them was reporter Quinton Mayo, who explained where things stand: "Right now, Washington is trying to add Jeremy regardless of a possible trade at the expense of Danny Abdia or Roy Hachimura."
Journalist Chase Hughes added: "The Wizards have quite a few young players. They have Danny Abdia, Daniel Graford, Hachimura and Corey Kispert. Now it is the job of the Wizards chiefs to decide which of them will have to part soon. Easy decision, but sometimes that's how it works .. ".

Meanwhile, after the victory over Oklahoma City, the winds are very uneasy in Washington.
According to Athletics, a violent incident was recorded in the players' tunnel during the break, when Cantabius Caldwell Pop and Montreux Harle physically confronted and were separated by a number of players, who managed to calm down.
Apparently, Earl was furious at the final move of the half in which Caldwell Pop was seen throwing a three from an impossible distance instead of handing him the free-kick closer to the basket.
The two, who played together last season in the Lakers uniform, exchanged blows even before they got to the locker room, though in the second half the winds seemed to calm down as coach Wes Ansald Jr. commanded them together in one five-pointer.
This appears to be the end of 1st half play that led to an apparent halftime altercation between Montrezl Harrell and KCP, as reported by @ShamsCharania.
You can see Harrell and KCP start talking on their way to the locker room.
