A bench exchange between Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick and Luka Doncic sparked controversy after a heated exchange occurred during a game against the Golden State Warriors. Redick, who was subbed out of the game, said he didn't know why the incident was so widespread that it went viral. The two players had heated words before Redick returned to the sidelines and Redick was cleared from the bench. A Lakers source dismissed any deeper meaning of the incident, stating that the two have a strong, close relationship and are "both fiercely competitive" and "always pushing each other." The incident occurred during L.A.'s 129-101 road win over the Golden state Warriors.
