Kristaps Porzingis made his highly-anticipated debut for the Washington Wizards this week. Not only was it his first outing since being dealt away by the Dallas Mavericks, but it also happened to be his first game since Jan. 29.
How did he fare? Quite well, actually.
Porzingis finished with 25 points on the night, a stat made all the more impressive by the fact that he was on a playing restriction of 20 or so minutes.
After the game, he was understandably giddy. In an effort to keep the good times going, he and his girlfriend Laura Vizla went out to celebrate.
The photos from the night speak for themselves:

Porzingis and Vizla went Instagram-official last September. Along the way, her profile has grown quite dramatically as well. She now boasts more than 30,000 followers on Instagram – and her posts routinely blow up.
Case in point:

It’s great to see Porzingis and her doing so well.
Clearly there are a lot of Casanovas in the NBA. Carmelo Anthony’s work in this space is legendary; same with Porzingis’ old teammate, Luka Doncic.

But what Porzingis has going here seems very real and sweet as well.
Hopefully Porzingis continues to find new life as a member of the Wizards, and with any luck it’ll mean nothing but good times ahead with his new girlfriend.
