Luka Doncic calls out referees for ignoring fouls after multiple face hits

Luka Doncic has been angry at the referees several times this year for apparently refusing to call fouls when he gets manhandled on the court, and these days he’s only getting angrier.

Doncic, who put up 36 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night, got hit in the face three separate times as the Mavericks battled and lost to the Indiana Pacers. Only one of them was called a foul, an obvious knee-to-the-jaw hit that Edmond Sumner delivered on Doncic in the second quarter.

Doncic was particularly upset about a late fourth quarter hit he took from Victor Oladipo, which drew blood and put him on the floor for several seconds.
