Luka Doncic (Guard with the Dallas Mavericks) has been subjected to his fair share of technical fouls. He also has a well-deserved reputation for getting into heated arguments with authorities.
The recent performances of the Dallas Mavericks star have elicited euphoria within the NBA community. The star guard also surpassed NBA greats like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan by becoming the first player in NBA history to score 60 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists in a game against the New York Knicks.
Even if the 23-year-old player had set a new NBA record in the game before, he might still be in significant trouble if he committed any technical fouls. In the event that Luka Doncic continues to play in this manner in the future, he runs the risk of being suspended.
In 2018, the young Slovenian player Luka Doncic made his debut in the National Basketball Association with the Dallas Mavericks. After that, he went on to win the Rookie of the Year award for the 2018–19 NBA season. Not only does he turn in promising performances, but he also receives a lot of foul calls. He needs to clean up his act.

Luka Doncic was called for a technical foul on Thursday night despite the fact that he was bleeding throughout the game against the Houston Rockets. At the end of the third quarter, both the Dallas Mavericks and the Rockets held sizable leads over their opponents. When Luka Doncic was attempting to guard the ball at that point, a player for the Rockets named Usman Garuba stepped on his head as he was falling.
After engaging in a heated discussion with the referee, the Dallas Mavericks guard was assessed his ninth technical foul of the season. Along with Draymond Green, Dillon Brooks, and Kevin Durant, he is one of just four players who have ever accumulated more than seven technical fouls in a single season of play.
The National Basketball Association has bylaws that state a player will be punished for one game if he receives 16 technical fouls during the course of the regular season. Notable is the fact that Luka Doncic racked up 17 technical fouls during the previous season.
According to a report in Marca, the National Basketball Association overturned one of his fouls because he was yelling at a player on his own side. The official interpreted that to suggest that Luka was yelling at him during the match.
Fans Reacted on Twitter
The fans, on the other hand, are incensed with the judgement that the referee made about the technical foul that was called on the Dallas Mavericks star. This was believed to be humorous by a few admirers, and they shared their reactions on Twitter.
