Rachel Nichols slams Mavericks after latest Luka Doncic leaks as messy divorce continues
NY Post
Luka Doncic leaks appear to be still coming out of the Mavericks’ front office and Rachel Nichols is left asking why.
“I don’t get why the Mavs are sharing this stuff,” Nichols said in a post on X. “If Dallas is right and Luka’s habits eventually cost the Lakers, there’ll be plenty of chances to sit back with all the I told you so’s. But if Luka wins a title in LA, all this talk is gonna make Dallas look even worse. Say less.”
The Athletic reported that the Mavericks had “issues” with Luka Doncic’s social habits, such as his drinking and smoking hookah.
