Luka Doncic’s injury during the game against the Celtics has sparked outrage among NBA fans, who are fed up with the league’s officiating. The incident occurred when Al Horford kneed Doncic in the face after a dunk, and the referees failed to call a foul. To make matters worse, Jaylen Brown elbowed Doncic in the face later in the game, and although the referees initially called a foul, they overturned it after a challenge.
Fans took to social media to express their frustration, with many calling for changes to the NBA’s officiating. Some even labeled the Celtics as “one of the dirtiest teams in the NBA”. This isn’t the first time Doncic has had issues with referees; he expressed his disappointment with the officiating during the 2024 NBA Finals against the Celtics.
The Lakers’ star guard was already listed as “probable” due to a knee injury before the game, and the incident has raised concerns about player safety and the consistency of refereeing in the NBA. The league’s officiating has been under scrutiny for some time now, and this latest incident has only added fuel to the fire. Many are calling for the NBA to take action and improve its officiating to prevent similar incidents in the future.
