Kristaps Porzingis Left with Bloody Face After Fight in Latvia

EXCLUSIVE

Dallas Mavericks star Kristaps Porzingis was reduced to a bloody mess in his home country of Latvia after he was apparently involved in a brawl that left him wanting more.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ Sports … the Euro NBA player was in his hometown of Liepaja over the weekend, where we’re told he was celebrating some occasion through a number of clubs and pubs in the area.

Our sources say that a handful of Russians confronted Kristaps, supposedly upset with the fact that he’d switched teams down here in the States … and an all-out tussle broke out. It would appear to have been pretty violent, ’cause Kristaps was bleeding from his head.

This video appears to capture the aftermath of the fight … which almost wasn’t over if Kristaps would have had his way. You can see him — again bleeding and with a torn shirt — being held back by a woman at first, who he shoves aside.

Kristaps charges another group that’s off camera, but a couple police officers plead with him to calm down and stand down. The entire exchange seems to be going on in their native tongue, Latvian. 

The Mavericks haven’t said anything about the altercation, and Kristaps himself has been quiet too.
