My thinking is that we know firsthand that Wood's agent enjoys calling media members and making bold claims. It makes total sense to me, because everyone else who matters is playing. A lot.
I don't think a media outlet like The Atlhletic with Shams would reduce themselves to be Woods mouthpiece in the first place. They specifically mention 6 different sources talked to them.
Article specifically mentiones the moment (December 23rd) when Ham decided to move Russell to the bench and start playing without a PG in the starting line-up. And then talks about struggles while experimenting with line-ups. The disconnect is what players and coach think is the reason for bad results. Ham is "blaiming" injuries to a couple of role players, while players said in the post game conference that players being out should not be an excuse.
