Rookie mistake: Cassius Winston had to dress up like a Harlem Globetrotter after missing rookie duties

Washington Wizards rookie Cassius Winston had to dress up as a Harlem Globetrotter at practice after forgetting to do some rookie duties.

Davis Bertans made Winston dress up as the Globetrotter and do some tricks, as the Wizards official Twitter account shows here:

It’s not surprising that Winston would have to do this since he’s the newcomer to the team but it’s also all in good fun. Christmas is on Friday, after all.

The NBA season just got underway and the Wizards ended up losing their first game, 113-107 to the Philadelphia 76ers. Winston didn’t appear in that game but he looks poised to make his debut soon. As for Bertans, he had 14 points with three rebounds in the loss.

Winston was a second-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft from Michigan State. He also set the Big Ten record for the most assists ever as he has 817.
