“Everything Hurts”: Luka Doncic Hilariously Responds to Mavericks Picking Wins on Back-to-Back Nights Against Lakers and Grizzlies

The Dallas Mavericks finished their two-game road trip with a solid 2-0 record. However, their little win streak came at the expense of their superstar feeling completely exhausted.

After registering a win against the Memphis Grizzlies, Luka Doncic and co. flew back home to host the Los Angeles Lakers. In the post-game interview, Doncic had a hilarious response to reporters asking him how he was feeling.

The Slovenian star spoke about the weakness he felt following the exhausting back-to-back matchups. “I slept very little today. Everything hurts. I’m getting old man. But we got two back-to-back wins…proud of these guys,” Luka hilariously stated.

Despite the Mavericks missing out on Kyrie Irving’s services, they managed to defeat the fully healthy Purple & Gold 127-125.

Dante Exum stepped up big time in Irving’s absence, recording 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. However, it was Luka Doncic once again, putting the team on his back and leading them to a victory. The Slovenian recorded 33 points and 17 assists.

Doncic has been phenomenal over the last two games. During the win over the Grizzlies yesterday, the guard recorded 35 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists in 44 minutes. Having played for more than 43 minutes today, Luka must certainly be gassed.

Luka Doncic has elevated his game since being blessed with a girl

Luka Doncic missed out on the 1^st December clash against the Memphis Grizzlies due to “personal reasons”. Initially, the reason for him missing the game seemed rather ambiguous. Soon later, the All-NBA player took to Instagram, introducing the world to his baby girl.

After becoming a parent, Doncic has been exceptional on the basketball court. While it is certain that a newborn takes up a lot of the parents’ energy, the 6ft 7” guard has figured out a way to excel on the hardwood.

Since the birth of his daughter, Doncic is averaging 35.2 points, 12.4 assists, and 9 assists. In this five-game span, Luka has also led his team to a 4-1 record, extending their streak to four straight wins.

As of now, the Texas side has a solid 15-8 record. Placed 3^rd in the West, they are sitting merely 0.5 games behind the #2 Oklahoma City Thunder.
