Luka Dončić has fan removed after incident with game official

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić had a fan sitting courtside removed on Wednesday night after an incident involving a game official. As he prepared to inbound the ball late in the third quarter of the Lakers’ 116-103 win over the Sacramento Kings, Dončić summoned officials and security while pointing to a man in a courtside seat. The man had caught the ball on the previous play and returned it aggressively to an official, who was not prepared for it. The ball hit her awkwardly, prompting Dončić to react.

What the f*** are you doing? Dončić appeared to ask the fan before calling for assistance. Officials halted the game briefly and quickly approached the man, who was then escorted from the venue. The game continued without further incident. It is unclear if the fan responded to Dončić. The Lakers took a seven-point lead into halftime and extended it in the second half to secure the 13-point victory. Dončić finished with 40 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists.
