Now, Luka Doncic is facing something “besides basketball” and would be at the risk of sharing the same fate as the Warriors star.
Luka Doncic on the risk of getting himself Andrew Wiggins rumors
Luka Doncic and Co are 0-4 in their last four encounters and are at risk of missing out on the Playoffs completely. And after he made his last press conference following the first loss against the lowly Hornets, there are chances of him facing the same issues as Wiggins had to deal with, besides whatever was going on with him already.
But some level-headed people like this journalist from Guardian US, want fans to not repeat such shenanigans again. “I really hope we can learn from the Andrew Wiggins stuff and not speculate about what’s going on with Luka (Doncic),”Claire de Lune said.

Obviously, the type of people who started the Wiggins story are not going to worry about this idea of respecting somebody’s personal life and space. But what else can be done except for requesting them not to?
Can the Mavericks deal with this issue in time?
If they cannot, the season that Mark Cuban must have thought would take them at least another step closer to the ultimate success would be over.
But not even qualifying for the Playoffs after assembling the most sensational backcourt duo in the NBA? What a disappointment it would be for Mark, Doncic, and Kyrie Irving.
Will we see this duo together next season if they fall short? We would have to wait and watch to find out. For now, the 36-39 Dallas team should focus on its remaining 7 games.
The easiest matchup of their last 10 games of the season was the games against the Hornets, and they lost them both to slide out of the play-in seed. Let’s see if they can better the better teams.
