A Los Angeles Lakers staff member's actions directed at a Portland Trail Blazers player following a recent game have sparked controversy, according to reports emerging Sunday.
The incident occurred after a matchup at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, where the Trail Blazers faced the Phoenix Suns on November 4. Damian Lillard, wearing No. 0 for Portland, was photographed high-fiving Jrue Holiday, No. 5, after scoring during the second half.
Details of the staffer's specific conduct toward the Blazers player were not immediately disclosed. The Lakers organization has not issued a public statement regarding the matter as of Sunday morning.
The NBA typically reviews postgame interactions between team personnel and opposing players under its conduct policies. Any formal league review or disciplinary action would be announced through official channels.
