Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic was involved in an argument with a reporter after having a fan ejected from Wednesday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns for a seemingly weak reason.
The Mavericks were blown out 132-109 and Luka must have endured a frustrating night. With his team down double digits in the fourth quarter, he had the fan tossed.
According to ESPN’s Tim McMahon, who was sitting two rows ahead of the fan, the trash talk was pretty tame.
“Luka, you’re tired! Get your A- on the treadmill!” he was quoted as saying.

Doncic and McMahon had a bit of a back-and-forth in his post-game presser as the Slovenian guard claimed that there was more to it.
