"We tried to be professional each and every day," Portis said—and probably for the last time with the trade of Mirotic to the New Orleans Pelicans—about his interaction with Mirotic after their preseason fight. "Come in and work, try and make things work on the court. Off the court we never talked or anything. We just kind of stayed away from each other. Played cards one time; it was kind of awkward. After that didn't play anymore.
