    “Number one, I want to apologize for my actions at the start of the fourth quarter in Dallas on Game 4. They don’t represent me, my upbringing, this franchise, or any of the Lakers fans out there that want to watch us and want us to succeed. Furthermore, and more importantly, I want to actually apologize to J.J. Barea for doing that. I’m just glad that he wasn’t seriously injured in the event.
