Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis have ‘actual beef’ from failed partnership: former Mavericks star
NY Post
Kyrie Irving vs. Celtics fans isn’t the only 2024 NBA Finals rivalry.
There is “actual beef” between Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis from years together as running mates in Dallas, according to former Mavericks player Chandler Parsons.
“It will be way more violent toward Kyrie Irving in Boston, no doubt, but don’t get twisted, they do not like Porzingis in Dallas,” Parsons said on “Run It Back” on Monday.
“Luka did not like playing with him. There is an actual beef there. It’s going to be every time he touches the ball he’s getting booed.”
The Mavericks acquired Porzingis from the Knicks during the 2019 season to give Doncic a legitimate co-star, but the pair failed to meet expectations.
Dallas lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of Porzingis’ two full seasons in Dallas, finishing as the seventh seed and fifth seed.
