Guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and centre Montrezl Harrell got into a physical altercation at halftime before their teammates ultimately separated them.
It was reported that Harrell was upset that Caldwell-Pope did not pass him the ball on a specific play, which led them to exchange words and eventually swing at each other.
The fight was not enough to slow Washington down Tuesday with a 122-118 win and both Harrell and Caldwell-Pope played significant roles.
However, the Washington Wizards defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on January 11, but it would have been far from sailing smoothly.
The two are very familiar with each other as last season both were members of the Los Angeles Laker.
They were transferred to Washington and the pair are part of a Wizards core that has the team in playoff place.
Kyle Kuzma, who also played with them on the Lakers and was part of the Westbrook trade, spearheaded the scoring effort with 29 points, five innings and three assists.
Harrell finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, two assists and one block off the bench, while the guard posted 16 points, three assists, three rebounds and two blocks as part of the starting unit.
Washington is now 21-20 overall following a second straight win and fighting for playoff positioning as the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Their next match is on Wednesday, January 12, against the Orlando Magic, and Harrell and Caldwell-Pope will likely be under the spotlight when they are on the floor together.
