Kyle Kuzma, just like the rest of the NBA, wasn’t happy to see Marcus Morris’ hard foul on the Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic during Game 6 of their playoffs series. While Doncic was driving to the basket, Morris hit Luka on the head, which led to his ejection from the game after a clear Flagrant II. Everybody was mad at Morris for his action and Kuzma wasn’t the exception.
A couple of hours after the game was finished, Kuzma took to Twitter to express his opinion on the play. He sarcastically said Morris got the ball while the only thing he got was Luka’s face.
“But he got the ball though?” Kuzma wrote.

It was a subtle but many fans didn’t understand at the beginning, thinking the Lakers forward was actually defending Morris.
After the game, Doncic was very clear with his words, ripping Morris for his ‘terrible foul’.
“Terrible foul,” Doncic told reporters after his team’s 111-97 loss. “Two games in a row he did something like that. I really hoped the first one wasn’t on purpose but looking back at the foul this game, you know what I think. I don’t want to deal with that kind of player.”
Morris earned a lot of criticism for his actions but it doesn’t look like he’ll change his attitude anytime soon. In only one series, the Clippers are earning the reputation of a dirty team. They played mind games with Doncic throughout the whole series and they’ll likely do the same in the next round.
