Mavs lose to Pacers, 111-99, after Luka Doncic was ejected from the game

INDIANAPOLIS – Luka Doncic described Saturday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse as not exactly one of his finest hours thus far in the NBA.

That’s because Doncic was ejected from the game against the Indiana Pacers for inexplicably kicking the ball into the stands. The rookie’s frustrations boiled over with three minutes left in the third quarter, and the Mavs went on to lose to the Pacers, 111-99, before a crowd of 17,508.

However, Doncic, who also picked up a technical foul at the conclusion of the first half, explained after the game that he wasn’t trying to kick the ball into the stands.
