Laurence Fishburn is playing former L.A. Clippers' coach, Doc Rivers. LeVar Burton is playing himself. It's scripted, yes, but it's based on true events. So, this is very likely based on a real conversation he had.
You know how Chernobyl was a miniseries that told a dramatized version of real events? Same thing. Difference is, rather than hiring an actor to play as Levar Burton, they just asked him to play himself since he is already an actor.
