Brandon Ingram said Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers did not take kindly to Marcin Gortat’s tweet about how John Wall “will torture” the rookie point guard when the Washington Wizards visit L.A. on Wednesday.
“Yeah, of course we did,” Ingram said when asked if he saw Gortat’s tweet on Monday. “Everyone has social media, definitely saw it. The competitor in Lonzo, of course he didn’t take it so well and, with his teammates behind him, we didn’t take it so well.”
The Wizards center was responding to a video of LaVar Ball saying, “Washington is coming in Wednesday? They better beware because Lonzo ain’t losing again [this week].”
man….. pleaseeeeee!!! @JohnWall will torture him for 48min 😂😂😂😂

Asked about Gortat’s bravado toward his matchup, Wall said he plans to bring his A-game on Wednesday.
“Nah, no mercy,” Wall told The Washington Post on Monday. “Certain matchups you really get up for. Like when you play [Golden State Warriorsguard] Steph [Curry], you definitely want to have a good game. I’m playing against [Ball]. [Gortat] said what he said about me. I didn’t say anything. His dad has been talking … that makes me want to go out there and lead my team and play the best I can play.”
The unflappable and low-key Lonzo Ball said, “I don’t pay no mind to it” when asked about what Gortat tweeted.
“I already know my teammates have my back,” Ball added. “So we’re going to go out there, we’re going to play and hopefully get a win.”
