Luke Walton Says He Benched Lonzo Ball Because of LaVar "Talkin' Sh!t"

LaVar Ball claims that the Lakers aren’t playing for their coach, Luke Walton, anymore. After losing 12 of their last 13 games he said: “Luke doesn’t have control of the team no more. They don’t want to play for him.” Last night, after the Lakers win against Atlanta, Walton was asked by a reporter why he took Lonzo out of the first quarter early. He jokingly responded: “His dad was talking shit so I took him out early.”
