the slovenian Luka Doncic was expelled this Monday in the game lost 106-116 by Dallas Mavericks in the Minnesota Timberwolves field, committing two technical fouls.
Doncic had 19 points, six rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes on the court when, with two minutes to play in the third quarter, he committed two technical violations in the space of a few seconds.
The Slovenian had just missed a shot after colliding with Jaden McDaniels and, on his return to his midfield, he protested to the referee, who did not hesitate to whistle the technique.
Doncic seemed incredulous and the referees’ decision provoked a harsh reaction from the Mavericks coach, Jason Kidd, who also ended up getting thrown out.
The Mavericks trailed 85-69 at the time of Doncic’s ejection.
The Texans ended up surrendering 106-116 to the Wolves who, after endorsing the Chicago Bulls with 150 points this Sunday, were once again led by an excellent Anthony Edwards.
The Texan franchise is tenth in the West (15-16), while the Wolves are seventh (16-15), after adding their third consecutive victory despite the losses of Frenchman Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony Towns.
