What is better than an organization actually listening to its players? It has not been long since Luka Dončić publicly complained about the Lakers’ NBA Cup court. He called out how slippery and dangerous it felt during the last group play. And the reinforcement came quickly. The concerns he voiced come as a last-minute decision made by the NBA. 

The Lakers’ NBA Cup court was officially declared unplayable. As posted by Hooper on Instagram, “The NBA’s techs have deemed the Lakers’ NBA Cup court as ‘unplayable’ and plan to send it back for repairs.” 

“I don’t like the court, it is just slippery, it is dangerous… I slipped a lot of times.” Luka had expressed his frustration candidly, and it was heard. Tonight’s Lakers-Mavs matchup will now be played on the usual regular-season court for safety.
