The Washington Wizards had two very special guests at Capital One Arena, Friday.<\/p>\n

Currently injured Capitals forwards, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Ryan Leonard, attended the Washington Wizards game \u2014 a 130-126 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. <\/p>\n

But \u201cattended the game\u201d may not fully do the moment justice. The two Capitals were twinning like a father-son duo, wearing the same style jersey, same white undershirt, and jeans. Dubois, 27, looks grizzled while the clean-shaven Leonard, 20, looks much younger and \u2014 sorry, Pierre \u2014 entering his prime.<\/p>\n

When the two Capitals were introduced to the crowd, they jointly waved only adding to the effect.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, Dubois and Leonard have become close friends, as the Capitals\u2019 centerman opened up his home to the rookie forward<\/a> when he first signed with the team out of Boston College. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was extremely lucky when he offered it,\u201d Leonard said in April<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s just a situation you can\u2019t really pass [up].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI always knew [having a younger player as a roommate] was something that I\u2019d like to do one day,\u201d Dubois explained in September<\/a>. \u201cObviously you can\u2019t force it, and (Leonard) came up last year. Everybody told me that he\u2019s a great kid, really nice, super respectful, so it was an easy decision to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cMy wife tells me that when he leaves, my age level goes up. But it\u2019s fun having him around.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two continued to live together during training camp, but Ryan moved out and got a place of his own, with Dubois\u2019s girlfriend expecting.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo kids in the house and three dogs would be a lot,\u201d Dubois quipped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards had two very special guests at Capital One Arena, Friday.
