BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Washington Wizards rookie guard Jarell Eddie was forced to wear an audacious red Christmas-themed suit before the game as part of his initiation into the NBA.
But his actions were louder than his apparel in his debut, knocking down four 3-pointers to help lead the Wizards to a 111-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday afternoon at Barclays Center.
Eddie, who was signed Wednesday, had 12 points off the bench on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range as the Wizards won their fourth straight game and reached .500 at 14-14.
"It's just an amazing feeling, man," Eddie said.
