Luka Doncic denies having beef with Kristaps Porzingis after Chandler Parsons’ claim
NY Post
Luka Doncic asserted that he has no ill will with Kristaps Porzingis.
The two were teammates on the Mavericks for Doncic’s first two-and-a-half seasons in the NBA, beginning in 2019, and are set to face each other in the NBA Finals with Porzingis now a member of the Celtics.
Earlier this week, on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back”, Chandler Parsons, who played for the Mavericks for two seasons before Doncic and Porzingis got there, said that the two former teammates had “actual beef”.
At media availability on Tuesday, Doncic denied this was the case.
“That’s why I don’t watch a lot of that — because people don’t know,” Doncic said.
“I’ve talked to Chandler Parsons maybe twice in my life, so I don’t know how he would know that. But me and KP have a good relationship. I don’t know why people would say otherwise.”
Aaron Judge had an Opening Day negotiating deadline in 2022 when he was coming up on the final year of his contract before free-agent eligibility, and that seems to have worked out just fine for No. 99 — perhaps the first time ever in a hockey column that numeral does not refer to Wayne Gretzky — and the Yankees.
