WATCH: Luka Doncic does a Hulk Hogan after Missing Consecutive Free-throws against Lakers
Follow Us
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic was so frustrated during the game against Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA on Friday that he ripped his jersey.
The Mavericks were struggling to keep up with the Lakers and the frustration showed on their star player. Not only that but Doncic also seemed to have been targeted physically and unfortunately, not many decisions were going in his favour.
What was more surprising to see was that Doncic’s accuracy off the free-throw line. He, rather uncharacteristically, missed five free throws in the first half. With just over a minute to go in the first half, Doncic ripped his jersey off after missing consecutive free throws. He continued to play with a torn jersey for the remaining first half and came out with another No. 77 jersey in the second half.

Luka Doncic also had a bad time with the referees, with many decisions going against him. With the defenders getting more and more physical, Doncic would at least be hoping for more foul calls on him. Mavericks manager Rick Carlisle had already complained about teams resorting to these tactics recently. And Lakers was nothing new. Doncic still managed 25 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, but his team suffered a heavy defeat.

I really wonder what does Luka have to do to get something called. Are refs intentionally swallowing their whistle? This is getting ridiculous. He’s getting hacked out there and nothing’s getting called. pic.twitter.com/qV7HcWZn5a
