Morgan Wallen didn’t burn any bridges at NBC when he abruptly walked off the stage at the end of “Saturday Night Live” … because the network still wants to work with him.

Sources close to NBC tell TMZ … they would totally have the country music star back on the show and there’s no bad blood on their end.

From NBC’s point of view, Morgan’s early exit was just an awkward moment at the end of the show … and there wasn’t a joke or a cast member that offended him and caused him to make a run for “God’s country.”

We’re told Morgan had been on the ‘SNL’ set since Thursday and he knew all the jokes that were in the show … including Colin Jost and Michael Che‘s bit on Weekend Update.

Our sources say Morgan even watched the entire dress rehearsal and the live show Saturday … and there was no tension between him and the cast. We’re told everyone was friendly and having a good time. And Morgan even left the same way he came in for rehearsals, thinking that was the move.

Morgan’s been on ‘SNL’ before — though there was some COVID controversy that time — so he knows what the NBC show is all about … and we’re told if something offended him this time, he could have left right after his performance. That didn’t happen.

Of course, it’s customary for the musical guest to interact with the guest host and cast during the ending credits … and folks watching at home immediately reacted to his unusual exit, with lots of people agreeing Morgan looked ready to leave and that the vibe was off.

Morgan beelined it off the stage and later posted an Instagram story of a private jet alongside the caption … “Get me to God’s country.”

‘SNL’ writers are already having fun with Morgan’s one-liner … and NBC wants him back. It will be interesting to see if he returns for a third appearance somewhere down the line.

Sweet gesture from Lakers head coach JJ Redick — he held a special basketball clinic on his day off on Sunday for kids who have been impacted by the recent wildfires in L.A.

Los Angeles’ sideline manager put on the one-of-a-kind camp in conjunction with his LA Strong Sports foundation … inviting a bunch of little tykes to help learn ball at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo.

Redick spoke to the campers before giving them pointers on jump shots and defense … and check out some of the pics the Lakers shared from the event — everyone seemed thrilled.

The fires, of course, directly impacted Redick … he lost his Pacific Palisades home in one of the blazes — and he was super emotional talking about the destruction in the days after learning the news.

Redick’s kids, too, lost a massive NBA memorabilia collection in the January inferno … though throughout the last few months, players have been helping them build it back up.

Don’t expect Sunday’s camp to be the last good deed from Redick — he and his foundation have promised to help build “a safe, welcoming space where individuals and families can come together to play, grow, and compete” in L.A.

8:02 AM PT — Some good news for Royals fans — India was listed in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers … so it sounds like he’ll be fully recovered in time for first pitch at 1:10 PM CT.

A scary scene unfolded for Kansas City Royals second baseman Jonathan India on Sunday … when he took a fastball right off his head — forcing him to leave the game.

It all went down during the Royals’ series finale against the Cleveland Guardians. Up 6-2 heading into the last inning, Cleveland brought in closer Emmanuel Clase to wrap things up.

After initially brushing India off the plate with a 97 MPH fastball … the very next pitch went right at India’s noggin — clocking in at 99 on the speed gun.

“[Clase] threw a pitch that he doesn’t ever throw before, which was a four-seam fastball. His first one of the year. And then the next pitch, trying to come back up and in. You got to get it.”

“Obviously, I’m upset by it. I’m more upset for John, because we don’t know what’s going on with him right now. So it sucks.”
