Lakers Coach Seeks Nine "All In" Players
8 Apr
Summary
- Coach Redick publicly demanded "all in" commitment from nine players.
- Jared Vanderbilt was benched and restrained after a sideline argument.
- The Lakers have now lost three consecutive games.
Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick has publicly stated his search for nine players willing to be "all in" following the team's third consecutive loss. The latest defeat, a 123-87 rout by the Oklahoma City Thunder, saw an undermanned Lakers squad struggle significantly.
During the game, an altercation occurred between Coach Redick and veteran forward Jared Vanderbilt. Redick removed Vanderbilt from the game less than a minute into the second quarter, leading to a confrontation on the court and on the bench, where Vanderbilt reportedly needed to be restrained by Austin Reaves. Vanderbilt logged fewer than five minutes of play.
