Watch: Rick Carlisle Rips ESPN for Publishing LaVar Ball Story On Luke Walton's Job Status

Dallas Mavericks head coach and NBA Coaches Association president Rick Carlisle was not pleased with ESPN's publication of a story that centered around LaVar Ball saying Luke Walton has has lost the Lakers locker room.

ESPN published an article with quotes from LaVar Ball telling reporter Jeff Goodman that Walton no longer has control of the team and players do not want to play for him. Walton and Lonzo Ball denied the report after the Lakers dropped their ninth-straight game.

"As President of the Coaches Association, I view the recent ESPN article as a disgrace quite honestly," Carlisle said.
