On Tuesday before their home game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Redick dismissed any negative perception that was created from his intriguing moment with the Slovenian superstar.
"I didn’t think much of it at the time, to be honest with you. I don’t think Luka did either," he told reporters. "He and I have a great relationship, and I really value it. I think those things happen — not every game, but pretty frequently. Sometimes you have to rehash them with a player or as a teammate. Sometimes it happens player to player. It’s competition, and in this case, two guys are trying to win a basketball game and be on the same page.
"Frankly, I talk about player-led teams all the time. I encourage guys to talk to me or our coaches, bring stuff up, and tell us what they need. I don’t know why it went viral to me."
