With a first-round rematch between their teams set, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic said there are no hard feelings remaining from the heated rivalry that he developed with LA Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. during last season's series.
According to Doncic, Morris apologized to him during a game earlier this season about stepping on the back of Doncic's left ankle in Game 5, a controversial play that the Mavs considered dirty with their star playing on a sprained ankle.
Morris served as the Clippers' primary defender on Doncic throughout the series, which featured several intense exchanges between them, including Morris getting ejected for a flagrant 2 foul on Doncic during LA's series-clinching Game 6 victory.
