Jordan has responded via his spokeswoman, claiming there was no malicious intent behind the pop. He says,

It was like a big brother and little brother tap. No negative intent. Only Love!

Monk has responded as well, claiming he expected it to cause a rift among some people.

..It was nothing. He was just playing. It’s mike, and whatever he does is going to make [news] because nowadays it’s all social media and everybody has their phone out there and I wasn’t surprised.

The Hornets are scheduled to take on the New York Knicks Friday (Dec. 14).
