In the 2022-23 NBA season, the competition in the Western Conference is extremely cutthroat. To put things into perspective, the Dallas Mavericks are currently 25-23 and still hold the fifth seed in the Western Conference. The Mavs recently faced off against the Los Angeles Clippers, and it ended up being a crushing defeat for Luka Doncic and co.
Speaking of Luka Doncic, he continued his sensational form this season. The Mavericks superstar recorded 29 points, 10, rebounds, and 4 assists while playing 39 minutes. Considering the Mavericks still lost the game, Doncic was fuming and rushing toward the locker room.
While heading towards the locker room, a fan tried to give him a pat on his back, assumably for his great performance. But instead of doing so, the fan ended up slapping Doncic on his back, and it understandably made him angry.

After getting hit by the fan, Doncic tried to locate the fan, who slapped him on the back with a furious expression. The video is yet another proof that sometimes NBA fans end up crossing the line, albeit unintentionally.
Dallas Mavericks Need To Get Luka Doncic Some Help
This season, Luka Doncic has been nothing but amazing so far. He is currently averaging 33.6 PPG, 8.9 RPG, and 8.7 APG. Despite these monster numbers, the Mavs are barely over the .500 mark. Keeping that in mind, most believe that Luka must be furious with the Dallas Mavericks front office and need some reinforcement.
Evidently, it is one of the hottest topics in the rumor mill. However, when Doncic was asked about his thoughts on these reports, the 23-year-old simply denied these rumors.
“That’s not true, I didn’t say nothing about that. I talk to Nico, I talk to Fin [Michael Finley] more than I used to but that’s just how I talk to them. Great communication that just stays between us.”
Whatever the case be, if the Mavericks indeed want to try and get some help for Luka, it is the perfect time to do so. The NBA Trade Deadline is right around the corner, and they could take a look at the market and possibly add a few key pieces to the roster.
