Los Angeles clippers forward Marcus Morris reacted to the words of Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic about a rough foul and the removal of Morris in the sixth game of the playoff series between the teams.
Doncic tried to make a pass to the ring, and Morris stopped him with a gross violation of the rules, then hit him on the head after the referee’s whistle. The referees reviewed the video of the incident and decided to remove Morris from the court.
“Terrible foul. Two games in a row, he did something similar. I was really hoping the first one wasn’t on purpose, but looking back at the foul in this game, you know what I think? I don’t want to deal with such players,” Luka said.
Morris left a message on Twitter, writing: “I’m going to cry. The clippers won the series in six games.”
