Marcus Morris ejected for a foul on Luka Doncic who says: It was a terrible play

Marcus Morris Sr.'s battle with Mavericks' Luka Doncic ends with ejection

Marcus Morris has been ejected in Game 6 of the series against the Dallas Mavericks for a flagrant foul 2 on Luka Doncic.

After the game Luka Doncic complained for the hard foul made by Marcus Morris who stepped on Luka’s ankle in Game 5.

Per ESPN, “It was a terrible play. What can I say?” Doncic said after his 38-point, 9-rebound, 9-assist performance in the Mavs’ season-ending 111-97 loss. “It’s two games in a row he did something like that. I really hoped the first game it wasn’t on purpose, but looking back on the foul this game, you know what I think.

“I don’t want to deal with that kind of players. Just move on.”

“They had to make that call,” Morris said of the flagrant 2 on Sunday. “I think, honestly, we had a lot of back-and-forth this series. It was a hard-fought series. I just don’t want people to mistake playing basketball, playing hard with trying to hurt somebody. I think Tim Hardaway had an extremely hard foul with [Paul George] last game, and it wasn’t taken in [the same context].”

Talking about Doncic, Morris said, “He’s a young player. He’s going to be the face of the league. I’ve taken into account all of that. I have been around for a while. I know how this thing works. … I am a grown man. I stand on my own. Like I said, I didn’t mean to step on his ankle. They can say the stuff that they want to say, this and that, on Twitter. … Whatever they want to say, they can say it. I am going to continue to play, happy that my team is in the second round.”
