Luka Doncic, the star player of the Dallas Mavericks, delivered a strong performance in game 1 of the NBA Finals series against the Boston Celtics. The Slovenian basketball player finished the game with 30 points, one assist, and 10 rebounds during his 38 minutes of play. However, despite Doncic’s outstanding performance, the Mavericks lost the game to the Celtics with a score of 107-89 due to a lack of support from the team.

The 25-year-old Mavericks player has faced numerous injuries throughout his career, yet he always manages to make a strong comeback and dominate his opponents. Recently, a video of Doncic went viral, showing him grabbing at his chest/rib area and grimacing during a Mavericks practice before Game 2. It is unclear whether Doncic was genuinely injured or if he was faking it to create suspense for the fans.

Luka Doncic’s presence will significantly impact the upcoming NBA Finals games. If the injury was real, it would be a major problem for the Mavericks. After a video of him went viral, Doncic’s supporters expressed concerns about their star player’s health. However, a few fans criticized Doncic, saying that he was just faking because of the loss in game 1.

Fans accuse Doncic of faking an injury

One Fan criticized Doncic and said, “Only hurt when he’s losing.“

A second fan praised Doncic and reacted, “There goes Luka, and he wanna-be injuries again. Pretending that he’s injured and then comes out and scores 50 points. I guess that’s how you make heroes.”

A third fan said, “One thing about Luka is when he’s down, he’s gonna be “injured” but let him start heating up and that pain is gone.”

Meanwhile, another fan reacted, “Why does he do this when they lose, but when they’re winning, he’s jumping up and down like a kid on Christmas?”

Recently, another video of Doncic went viral. It showed him playing a prank on the ball boys, leading to fans mocking him for his actions.

Luka Doncic will return to action in Game 2 against the Celtics at TD Garden on Sunday.

Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller File for Divorce After 1 Year of Marriage

WNBA champion Kelsey Plum and NFL tight end Darren Waller filed for divorce after one year of marriage. In April, the WNBA star and New York Giants tight end filed a joint petition for divorce in Clark County, Nevada.

Just after the filing, Plum shared a heartbreaking message on social media. “I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.

“God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends,” the Las Vegas Aces star continued.

“One day, I’ll share my story; today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, to forgive and move forward. Today and everyday I will continue to choose joy. Much love, KP.”

Waller, a former player for the Las Vegas Raiders, and Plum, a two-time WNBA champion with the Aces, started dating. It is said that they dated for almost a year prior to getting married on March 4, 2023.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal claims that on January 22, 2023, Plum and Waller submitted an application for a marriage license.

Waller was traded to the New York Giants shortly after their marriage. Many believed former head coach Josh McDaniels did this on purpose since he wasn’t invited to the wedding.
