Audio of Luka Doncic mocking Kris Dunn during fight goes viral
With another historic performance that saw him record his 60th career triple-double, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks crushed the Utah Jazz. However, after receiving a technical foul in the triumph, a mocking event marred the almost flawless day for the Slovenian basketball sensation.
Kris Dunn of the Jazz was put in charge of guarding Doncic with 3:38 remaining in the third quarter. Walker Kessler is guarding the paint, so as the four-time NBA All-Star breaks the defence, he has to kick out to the open shooter to make the layup. However, Dunn finds himself being influenced by the Mavs’ defence as he follows Doncic, which he dislikes. Dunn approaches Doncic and touches his face with a finger.
Doncic walked away from the altercation and smiled villainously at his opponent in payback. Each player received a technical foul, and Luka Doncic was taken aback to learn that he had also received one.
