Doncic Reflects On His Dazzling Long-Range Shot Against The Timberwolves
Doncic made a long three-pointer during the game and started yelling at the Timberwolves fans. However, the Slovenian basketball player appeared confused when asked in a post-game press conference about the 3-pointer.
“I don’t know how I make those shots and not the normal shots. But, at the end of the day, I just needed to get the rustiness out and all the way back. I didn’t play the whole preseason, so I need some time. But we got a win, and that’s all that matters.” Doncic said in the post-game press conference.
If Luka Doncic cannot return to the game, Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely take on expanded roles in the lineup.
