A Phoenix Suns fan was ejected from the American Airlines Center after heckling Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić on Thursday.
According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the fan shouted “Luka, you’re tired; get on the treadmill.” This caught the attention of Dončić, who pointed at a security officer while walking down the court. Moments later, the fan was seen leaving the arena.
After the game, Dončić shed light on the incident.
“He was cursing [at] me the whole first half too,” the Dallas guard said. “I never would eject a fan. They pay for tickets, but I had enough.”
Meanwhile, another report stated that the fan voluntarily went out of the arena after being approached by an arena staffer.
It was a disappointing night for Dončić and the Mavericks. The team led by as many as 16 points in the second quarter, only to absorb a blowout loss in the end against the Phoenix Suns, 132-109.
The Slovenian gunner finished the game with 34 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds. (MJD)
