After Ja Morant against the Thunder, it’s the turn of Luka Doncic to be sent off for two technical fouls in a row. And like Ja Morant, the Slovenian genius did not understand…
“I probably deserved the first, but clearly not the second” reacted Luka Doncic. “I’m not going to lie, the premiere is deserved. But not the second, and I was really surprised. I didn’t even know what was going on. I heard I was expelled, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a surprise!’ »
At the start, there is a snack shot from Luka Doncic, who believes that he was hampered by the defender, followed by a foul whistled at Reggie Bullock on the Wolves counter-attack. And this is where the Slovenian gets carried away.
But he is not the only one ! While his team was largely dominated, Jason Kidd enters the field and also attacks the referees. He also receives two technical faults, synonymous with expulsion.
“I am here because it is an obligation” replied Jason Kidd at a press conference. “I’ve already lost money, and I don’t want to lose any more. So no question… We’ll come back, watch the video, and see how we can improve. They were better than us tonight, and we’ll go from there. Thanks for coming ! »
Note that Luka Doncic has the record for technical fouls since 2019, tied with Draymond Green. He has now collected 56, although he often admits that he should stop complaining to the referees.
