'Go ahead with this foolishness': Dallas Mavericks player RUBBISHES Luka Doncic UNREST rumors

Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic bounced back in game 2 of Western Conference Semi Finals vs OKC Thunder as they won 119-110 to level the series 1-1 and take it back to Dallas. 

Luka Doncic has been playing this entire playoff series through a knee sprain and was also hurt in his ankle after game 1. The injury has been plaguing the star player and he is not able to perform at his best. In a recent report it was claimed that the Dallas Mavericks squad was running out of patience with their superstar and wanted him to sit out due to heal. 

According to the report, "An anonymous veteran assistant coach, says you can almost sense a “sigh of relief” among Luka Doncic’s teammates when he checks out of a game. It’s a sense of, ‘Hey, now we get to play.’ It’s difficult to have any rhythm if you’re not touching the ball.”
