Eddie Johnson says Redick‑Vanderbilt Conflict Is Normal

Eddie Johnson, a former Sixth Man of the Year, stated that the conflict between Lakers head coach JJ Redick and forward Jarred Vanderbilt was a normal part of coaching. Vanderbilt, who played only five minutes in the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, left the arena quickly, but Redick downplayed the issue. Johnson said coaching players to improve is expected, and the incident should not be seen as a major concern.
