Fourth-year shooting guard Jordan Clarkson is coming off a pair of big games for the Los Angeles Lakers, and after feeling a little loose, he accidentally let some NSFW content slip during Sunday's post-game interview.
“We just kept our foot on they nut, and just kept pushing.”
On their what now?
Clarkson was clearly excited after yet another big-time performance off the bench after totaling 29 points, 10 assists, six rebounds, and three steals on the night.
The Lakers wouldn't mind to have these big performances from Clarkson if the offensive tear continues — head coach Luke Walton surely won't. Walton complimented his young guard after a second straight monster performance.
“To me, guys normally have [high-scoring] nights like that when they stop thinking about offense,” said Walton, according to Harrison Faigen of Lakers Nation
“I think for whatever reason guys being down and him knowing what our messaging was all day about the type of effort we were going to need, you kind of get lost in doing other things. When you’re as gifted as he is offensively, that’s when you have nights like that.”
Both performances have been Clarkson's best all season, and it's a great breakout from a slump after getting reduced minutes. Prior to Friday, Clarkson had a woeful January, which saw him average just 9.6 points on 38 percent shooting in his seven previous games.
He's been favored in Walton's lineup after the injury to Lonzo Ball that has kept him out of the lineup during the last four games.
