Dallas Mavericks had planned to offer lucrative sponsorship deals to Luka Doncic, but his camp declined. The Slovenian superstar will play against his former team as part of a game with the Los Angeles Lakers. Doncic’s decision came after the Mavs announced their plans to promote his return, which was met with resistance from his representatives. This move adds to the tension between Doncic and the Mavericks, who he was traded from last year.
