Wesley Matthews Drops "Bow & Arrow" Celebration for First Return To Portland

Wesley Matthews will acknowledge Portland Trail Blazers fans by leaving his arrows in their quiver as he plays his first game against Portland as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

As reported by Mavs.com beat writer Earl K. Sneed, former Portland Trail Blazer Wesley Matthews will lay down his bow and arrow during tonight’s first return to the Moda Center as a Maverick – out of respect to the Portland faithful.

Wesley Matthews says he won't do his arrow celebrating in Portland, where it originated. He has too much respect for the Blazers' fans.
