Former Kentucky Wildcats teammates Tyler Herro and P.J. Washington swapped jerseys on Monday night after facing each other for the first time in the NBA.
As division rivals with the Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets, the two will face each other four times this season but the first meeting on Monday was certainly memorable for them.
Herro took home the first victory after recording 18 points on 6-of-13 shooting from the field while Washington had eight points, four rebounds and two steals.
The two players became close friends during their lone season at Kentucky and helped the Wildcats reach the Elite Eight last year. Of course, Herro went on to become the 13th pick while Washington was the 12th overall pick.
Afterward, Herro called Washington his brother and commended him for his effort in the matchup on Monday.
Herro and Washington were just two of the former Wildcats on the floor, joining Bam Adebayo, Malik Monk and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as the others.
The next meeting between the two teams is March 11 in Miami.
