During Wednesday night’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, Luka Doncic had a Suns fan removed from the arena.
According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the fan had been relentlessly heckling Doncic throughout the game.
The tipping point occurred when the fan shouted, “Luka, you’re tired! Get your on the treadmill!” The incident unfolded as Doncic posted impressive stats with 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists, despite the Mavericks’ 132-109 loss.

Doncic, visibly frustrated, later expressed his displeasure with the media’s coverage of the incident during his postgame press conference. In response, he motioned to have the disruptive fan ejected from the arena.
While fans have the right to boo and heckle, there are boundaries that should not be crossed.
