Luke Walton had an "emotionally-charged verbal exchange" with veteran team members of the Los Angeles Lakers following their 115-101 loss to the Golden State Warriors. 

Walton was preaching the importance of teamwork after the loss when he was reportedly challenged by several veterans, including Lance Stephenson, Michael Beasley, and Javale McGee (later reports claimed that the argument involved Beasley, McGee, and Josh Hart).

Walton and the players were separated before the confrontation escalated.

Beasley has been the frequent target of trade rumors involving Anthony Davis throughout the week. 

LeBron James sat out the loss due to "load management".
