Luka Doncic cleared the air regarding his relationship with former teammate Kristaps Porzingis. In the 2024 NBA Finals, the superstar of the Dallas Mavericks and the big man of the Boston Celtics will square off, and many people think there's unresolved business and bad blood between them.
Doncic addressed Chandler Parsons' allegations that he and Porzingis are at odds, emphasizing that they have a cordial relationship. Doncic even called Parsons out on his remarks.
What did Luka Doncic say?
Clearing all the confusion Doncic said, “That’s why I don’t watch a lot of that because people don’t know. I’ve talked to Chandler Parsons maybe twice in my life. I and KP have a good relationship. I don’t know why people say otherwise." These remarks follow Parsons' claims that Doncic disliked playing with the Latvian big man on the Mavericks and that Kristaps Porzingis wasn't valued in Dallas.
What did Parsons say?
Parsons said on Monday, “They do not like Porzingis in Dallas. Luka did not like playing with him. There is an actual beef there where it’s going to be, every time he touches the ball, he gets booed. There’s a real beef there."
