Luka Doncic rips Lakers’ ‘dangerous’ court, gets in late-game scuffle in eventful win
NY Post
Luka Doncic made two things clear Tuesday night — he’s no fan of the Lakers’ NBA Cup court, and he’ll pay any fine that comes Jaxson Hayes’ way after the big man had his back.
The Los Angeles superstar said following his team’s big 135-118 victory over the Clippers at Crypto.com Arena that the special hardwood the Lakers laid down for their in-season tournament matchup was a problem.
“It’s just slippery,” he said. “It’s dangerous.”
“I slipped a lot of times,” he added. “You could see a lot of players slipped. And that’s dangerous, man.”
The Lakers unfurled a bright yellow alternate court for the matchup, a tool Adam Silver’s league has used in Cup tilts to help promote the event. Doncic told reporters he could tell footing was going to be an issue as early as the pregame warmups.
Lakers coach JJ Redick intimated there might have been some drying issues with the hardwood after the Los Angeles Kings had played the Ottawa Senators in an NHL game at the venue some 24 hours prior.
