Doncic: 'Grown-ass man' courtside insulted my family
Luka Doncic said he approached a fan standing courtside in the fourth quarter of the Dallas Mavericks' road win over the Oklahoma City Thunder because of comments the spectator made about Doncic's family.
"There was one guy courtside, going at my family. I don't like that, man," Doncic said, per Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News. "He's a grown-ass man - just can't do that. But I didn't do (anything). ... It's a grown-ass man coming at my family? That's kinda nuts."
Doncic didn't specify what was said, but the Mavs point-forward was seen shaking his head after being separated from the individual in question by security.
