Luka Doncic denies having beef with Kristaps Porzingis after Chandler Parsons’ claim
NY Post
Luka Doncic asserted that he has no ill will with Kristaps Porzingis.
The two were teammates on the Mavericks for Doncic’s first two-and-a-half seasons in the NBA, beginning in 2019, and are set to face each other in the NBA Finals with Porzingis now a member of the Celtics.
Earlier this week, on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back”, Chandler Parsons, who played for the Mavericks for two seasons before Doncic and Porzingis got there, said that the two former teammates had “actual beef”.
At media availability on Tuesday, Doncic denied this was the case.
“That’s why I don’t watch a lot of that — because people don’t know,” Doncic said.
“I’ve talked to Chandler Parsons maybe twice in my life, so I don’t know how he would know that. But me and KP have a good relationship. I don’t know why people would say otherwise.”

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
