- 8 years ago
A Los Angeles Lakers spokesman said there are "different interpretations" about what happened during an interaction between players Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson and a woman who accused them of harassing her.
Coach Byron Scott also said he spoke with the players about Sunday night's incident in Hollywood with Alexis Jones, an activist and public speaker against sexual harassment and domestic violence.
Team spokesman John Black said the Lakers have spoken to Jones, Young and Clarkson about what happened.
"Our conclusion is that there are different interpretations of what happened," Black said.
"We support Nick and Jordan and believe what they told us about the incidents and their actions.
We also are supportive of Alexis and her feelings about what happened, about women's rights, and of the fine work Alexis is doing with her organization."
