Overview
- Tyronn Lue did not hold a postgame press conference following the Clippers’ 115-113 loss to the Rockets.
- Yahoo Sports’ Kelly Iko reported the team declined to make Lue available, while the Clippers said he was present but no reporters were in the room.
- Iko countered that he and others, including a Rockets PR staffer set to transcribe, were told Lue would not speak.
- If Lue declined to speak, it would run counter to the NBA’s media policy requiring head-coach availability after games.
- The defeat dropped Los Angeles to 6-19 with eight losses in nine games and a fall to 27th in defensive rating, as team executive Lawrence Frank maintains public support for Lue.
