Lakers' Luke Walton: I feel very secure in my job status right now. LaVar? It doesn't bother me
"I know they have my back," Walton said of Lakers management.
Luke Walton is not worried for his job security in Los Angeles.
The Lakers ended a streak of nine consecutive losses beating the Hawks on Sunday.
Per ESPN, "Yeah. We're, I feel, very secure in my job status right now," Walton said. "We talk all the time. They're 100 percent behind and supporting what we're doing."
LaVar Ball's latest comments left the No. 2 overall pick having to answer several questions Sunday morning about the state of the Lakers' locker room and his relationship with Walton.
"I'm fine with it. It doesn't bother me," Walton said of LaVar Ball's repeated criticism of him. "My only concern with any of it is for Zo. As long as Zo's fine with it and Zo can come out and play, and it doesn't affect mine and his relationship, then it doesn't bother me at all."
"I've said all along there's always parents, and parents are going to get mad at things -- that's what they do. And it's our job as coaches and coaches in the organization to do what's best for our team and our players, and we make those decisions based on what we see every single day in the facility and on the court."
"I know they have my back," Walton said of Lakers management.
