Lakers’ attentive spy
It was none other than Luka Doncic, the Slovenian player who tried to blend into the Clippers‘ huddle. It’s unclear if the Lakers player was disoriented or did it with full intention.
You can see how Luka Doncic of the Lakers approaches and tries to listen intently. However, when James Harden noticed his presence, he disbanded the “conclave” with the other Clippers players.

Immediately after, Harden is seen exchanging words with the Lakers player, but it’s unclear what he says. He also throws a threatening and angry look at Doncic. But this only lasted a couple of seconds, as when the Slovenian responded, Harden laughed and returned to the game, setting aside the tension.
Fans join in
Later, you can see the Lakers player also laughing about the situation, and the game continued as usual. Regarding the matter, many fans from both teams had something to say. Some claim it’s Luka’s arrogance that angers Harden.
Many users laughed at the situation, with comments like “James Harden is like, not during Black History Month Luka” or “Luka owns the Clippers right now 😂,” among many others. Whether because of the spy or not, the Lakers claimed victory and are now preparing for their next game against the New Orleans Pelicans. We’ll see if Luka uses his spy talents again.
