Kings coach Dave Joerger admitted Saturday that he shouldn’t have scolded guard Buddy Hield so publicly but said they have resolved their differences after the two of them got into a verbal altercation late in Thursday’s game against the Golden State Warriors.
Joerger and Hield argued after Hield pulled up for a long 3-pointer instead of running the play Joerger called from the sideline. Joerger addressed the situation for the first time during his pregame news conference before the Kings played the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
“I was a little animated at a time when the cameras are really on you and you’re kind of out there,” Joerger said.
