With all the changes that the Wizards have implemented since Michael Winger and Will Dawkins took the helm, there were not many familiar faces left from the Washington Wizards team Porzingis is used to playing with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, he did catch up with some good friends that are left after the game. Porzingis, <a href=\"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/2022\/10\/27\/kyle-kuzma-embraces-new-leadership-role\/\">Kyle Kuzma<\/a>, and Deni Avdija\u00a0shared laughs and conversation in the hallway as Porzingis headed to his postgame media availability.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"sl\" dir=\"ltr\">Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, and Kristaps Porzingis catching up after the game. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dbltakesports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@dbltakesports<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ForTheDistrict?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ForTheDistrict<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lRUeKh6CKF\">pic.twitter.com\/lRUeKh6CKF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Carita Parks (@CaritaCParks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CaritaCParks\/status\/1719174589316473296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 31, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u2018unicorn\u2019 did not let his media obligations stop him from engaging in a lengthy banter with both players.

As I said in the morning, good emotions remembering all the relationships I have from here and even now just talking to Kuz and Deni outside, we have that type of bond,\u201d Porzingis said. \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re ever going to lose it. When we see each other after five years, it\u2019s going to be the same banter. From the player side and everybody here, just a lot of great relationships.

He was a great locker room guy. Everybody loved him. I\u2019m happy for him. He has a chance to do something he really wants to do in his career.
