Luka Doncic blasted on air as ‘whiner’ by Hornets announcer

“Oh my goodness,” Collins said on air. “This guy is a whiner.”
Collins’ rant came early in the third quarter, after Doncic thought he had been fouled while trying to score on Kon Knueppel.
Doncic shook his head in disbelief, before he appeared to have some words for one of the on-court officials. Seconds later, the 26-year-old was issued a technical foul, and as he tried to plead his case to the ref, Collins unloaded into his mic.
“The Hornets have a chance to make it hurt,” Collins said after throwing the jab at Doncic. “A potential four-point play.”
Collins went on to add, “That is now 11 technical fouls on Luka Doncic. He’s got a reputation.”
Doncic and the Lakers weren’t able to make Collins eat his words — they ultimately lost, 135-117.
The Lakers are now just 1-4 in their last five games, although Doncic was still able to finish the night with 39 points, three rebounds and four assists.
