As the Dallas Mavericks fell to their favorite opponents, the Phoenix Suns, with 132-109 on Wednesday, tensions reached a boiling point when Luka Doncic requested that a Suns fan be ejected from the arena.
Doncic was said to have been subjected to a barrage of personal insults from the fan, which included taunts about his performance and his physical appearance.
While Tim MacMahon reported that the comment the fan made that drew Doncic’s wrath went as followed,
“Luka, you’re tired! Get your ass on the treadmill!”

It appears that there is more to the story, as Luka Doncic went after MacMahon for his reporting, after the game.
Doncic blasted MacMahon for continuously having something negative to say about him, while often slandering him for no apparent reason, looking for the fly in the ointment.
