The incident took place during the Los Angeles Lakers' 113-109 overtime victory over the New York Knicks on Thursday.

The confrontation stemmed from James' frustration over remarks made by Smith regarding his son, Bronny James.

Love took to X (formerly Twitter), sharing his thoughts about the situation. He reposted Smith's tweet and added his own commentary, offering support to his former teammate.

Tristan Thompson, another former Lakers player and James' teammate, also weighed in with a reply filled with three shouting emojis, showing his backing for James as well.
