Asked if Portis knows he has accepted apology or if he just accepted apology now when asked by reporters: “I guess he will now.”

Mirotic wouldn’t comment on the rumor that he had requested a trade, but expressed a willingness to play alongside Portis once again.
“I’ve been playing this game 9 years professionally. I was always a good teammate, always professional with everybody.
“I’m going to continue to do that. If I’m here, it’s because I want to support the team.
“[Portis] a part of the team. I’m going to support him too.”
