Dinwiddie and Kuzma were teammates on the Wizards in 2021-2022. Dinwiddie left for the Mavericks while Kuzma stayed in Washington.
After the Wizards defeated the Mavericks 127-126 in January, Dinwiddie said “For them, it’s a showcase. They’re over there trying to get paid, not trying to play winning basketball.”
Dinwiddie didn’t respond to Kuzma’s tweet immediately because his agent told him to stand down. “We had bigger fish to fry, things to do, get to the playoffs, etc… Now I’m in the playoffs, he’s not.”
Dinwiddie said, "That's why he dresses the way he does, approaches basketball the way he does, and makes the comments he does".
Thank KD & Kyrie and the team for the 34 wins before the break (11-13 after the break), stated Kuzma.
The feud between Dinwiddie and Kuzma rekindled, painting a picture of the tension that transpired when they shared the same locker room.
