PHOENIX (AP) -Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy says it was “no big deal” that Rashard Lewis refused to re-enter the game in the second quarter Thursday night at Utah.
Speaking before the Magic played the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, Van Gundy called the incident “a one-time thing”
Van Gundy said he knows Lewis’ act was not in defiance but in what he thought was best for the team, that he had two fouls and his replacement was playing well.
Van Gundy said he has never had a disagreement like that in the “couple of hundred” games he’s coached Lewis. He said he wished he got along with everyone in his life as well as he does with Lewis.
