Luka Dončić was not pleased with the officiating in Slovenia’s 100–89 quarterfinal loss to Canada in the FIBA World Cup on Wednesday morning.
Following the loss, the Mavericks star did not hold back on his comments toward officials, specifically regarding the play of Canadian star Dillon Brooks. While Brooks is known for his physical style of play and his growing role as the NBA’s ultimate antagonist, Dončić believes some of Brooks’s fouls in the game were uncalled for.
“The referees told to one of the guys ‘we’re not gonna call a foul on [Dillon Brooks] because he’s coming at us,’” Dončić said. “…I know I complain a lot, but I don’t think it’s fair.”
