Nikola Mirotic addressed the media today (29/11) following the Chicago Bulls practice and spoke about his relationship with Bobby Portis for the first time since the latter punched him during a physical altercation.
“We are teammates. We’re fighting for this team. We’re going to do what we need to do to make it work,” said Mirotic. “I’m very happy to be back with the team. Very positive now and I’m looking forward to start playing”
The Spanish forward also mentioned that he has accepted Portis’ apology.
Per Chicago Sun Times:
“I will not comment on anything in the past. I’m here just to support them (the team),” Mirotic said. “If I’m here it means my team needs me.”
Mirotic also said he accepts Portis’ apology. When asked if Portis knew that, Mirotic said, “I guess he will know now.”
Mirotic and Portis interacted last night, as the following picture shows.
