Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, in an attempt to protect his franchise’s superstar, publicly complained that the physical defense teams play against Luka Doncic frequently crosses the line.
“They’re beating the s**t out of him,” Carlisle said before Saturday night’s 123-120 home loss to the Charlotte Hornets. “He’s handling it well, but teams are taking liberties on him. We saw it with Dirk [Nowitzki] for 20 years here, my 11 years, all the time. Taking physical liberties on him, trying to knock him down, beat him up, stuff like that. It’s not good. It’s not good. He’s handling it very well, but it’s happening every game”.
