What is going on with Luka Doncic? Mavericks season essentially over
Doncic did all he could to avoid defeat vs. Hornets, scoring a game-high 40 points
Kyrie Irving scored 18 points on 5-for-15 shooting from the field. Since his arrival to Dallas about a month ago, Doncic has noticeably become bothered with something, though he claims it’s personal.
“I think you can see it with me on the court,” Doncic said Friday after the first loss to Charlotte. “Sometimes I don’t feel it’s me. I’m just being out there. I used to have really fun, smiling on court, but it’s just been so frustrating for a lot of reasons, not just basketball.”
Many fans quickly jumped to the conclusion that Irving must have something to do with Doncic being unhappy, but Mavericks reporter Tim MacMahon claims otherwise.
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic hasn’t been his happy self as of late, showing another glimpse of his sadness during the team’s second straight loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday at Spectrum Center.
Doncic, 24, did all he could to avoid defeat, scoring a game-high 40 points to go with 12 rebounds against Charlotte, basement-dwellers in the Eastern Conference.
