Luka Doncic has fan ejected, calls out reporter during awful Mavericks night
NY Post
Luka Doncic’s frustration spilled into his postgame press conference after a blowout loss to the Suns on Wednesday night.
The Mavericks star, who was called for his eighth technical foul this season, got into a fiery back-and-forth with ESPN’s Tim MacMahon while explaining why he had security remove a heckling Suns fan during the third quarter at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
“That wasn’t the only thing he [the fan], said, but I knew you would be the first one to… put out something like that,” Doncic said, adding that he would not repeat what the fan yelled.
“It’s just funny, you always seem to be the first one to put out bad stuff about me.”
Doncic took issue with MacMahon reporting on the incident in a post on X, claiming the fan — who was “sitting two rows behind [the] midcourt press row” — shouted: “Luka, you’re tired! Get your ass on the treadmill!”
MacMahon disagreed with Doncic.
