The Los Angeles Lakers got a big win against the Golden State Warriors a couple of days ago, but it wasn't pretty throughout the game. There was a moment where Luka Doncic came out of the game, as he was walked to the bench, JJ Redick held his wrist in an attempt to have a conversation with him.

Doncic didn't seem as if he wanted to talk and moved his wrist away from Redick. The head coach trailed behind Doncic until he got to his seat, and both of them exchanged words. Redick got the last word, and as he walked away, Doncic stood up as if he wanted to follow him. Simultaneously, Jarred Vanderbilt stood up alongside Doncic so he wouldn't pursue Redick, and fans appreciate him for doing that.

“Shout out to Jarred Vanderbilt tho,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“Vanderbilt’s ability here to clearly try and diffuse while optically making it seem that’s he’s cheering is incredible. A+ teammate,” a second user wrote.

“Extend Vando. And put him in close games vs good teams for defensive purposes in the 4th quarter. Thanks,” another user wrote.

“Props to that guy standing up and blocking Luca from escalating further,” a fourth user wrote.

Vanderbilt received a lot of props for standing up to prevent Doncic from doing whatever he planned on doing, but that would've caused a lot of unnecessary attention.

It looks as if Redick was maybe holding Doncic accountable for something that he did, and the Lakers' star didn't like what was said. They're probably over the situation now, and they can focus on the remainder of the season as they try to get back on track.

The good news is that the Lakers have won their last two games, but they do have some tough games coming up on their schedule.
