Overview
- Horry said on Spectrum SportsNet LA that Dončić "starts hunting" for calls when early whistles don’t come, arguing he is too good to seek fouls.
- In Friday’s 105–101 loss to Milwaukee, Dončić posted 24 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, shot 8-of-25 and 4-of-8 from the line, and fouled out with 16 seconds left after contact on Kevin Porter Jr.’s three-point attempt.
- Dončić leads the league at 33.3 points per game and 12.0 free-throw attempts per game, with 9.4 makes, underscoring both his production and the scrutiny of his approach.
- James Worthy previously echoed similar concerns in December, saying Dončić was searching for calls rather than simply playing through contact.
- The discourse follows the NBA’s three-game suspension of Dennis Schröder for confronting and attempting to strike Dončić on Dec. 28, with Deandre Ayton reportedly intervening to pull Schröder away.
