**Luka Doncic ejected after heated exchange; Lakers falter in loss.The Los Angeles Lakers star insists it was all a misunderstanding, but officials stand by the decision.**
Luka Doncic’s exchange with a courtside fan lead to an ejection,and a subsequent Lakers collapse in a 136-120 defeat. Doncic, after hitting a shot to bring the Lakers within one point at 108-107, directed words toward a fan that referee J.T. Orr deemed worthy of a technical foul and immediate removal from the game. “I never ejected a fan,” Doncic said, expressing his feeling of being misunderstood on the court.
Without Doncic,the Lakers lost control of the game. LeBron James described the game as becoming “strange” afterward, while Lakers head coach JJ Redick lamented that the game couldn’t be finished normally.
Doncic explained that the fan had been heckling him throughout the game, prompting his response. “If a fan wants to talk, I’m going to talk back,” Doncic said. ”It had nothing to do with the referee. I realy didn’t understand it.” The fan, speaking to ESPN, admitted the trash talk was directed at Doncic. The ejection followed an earlier technical foul in the third quarter.
Referee crew chief Tony Brothers defended the ejection, stating that Doncic received the frist technical for verbally attacking an official.The second technical, leading to the ejection, was for using “vulgar expressions” directed at an official.
The loss carries meaningful implications for the Lakers, who are currently third in the Western Conference. Their lead over the tightly packed teams from fourth to seventh place is just one game. Missing the playoffs remains a possibility with onyl three games left in the regular season.
Doncic, 26, is scheduled to play against his former team on Thursday at 1:30 AM in a highly anticipated game against the Dallas Mavericks, marking his first return as being traded to the Lakers for Anthony Davis in early February.
Could Doncic face further disciplinary action from teh NBA for his conduct?
