"I'm definitely hoping [it is rescinded], obviously, I let my team down getting that last tech. But honestly, I wasn't trying to. [Bitadze] said at the free throw, he would f--- my whole family. At some point, I just can't stand it. I got to stand up for myself. But I know I got to do better."
"I have all the respect for Luka and what he has done. Where I come from, it's really sacred and we really respect each other's families and I would never directly say that. He just said some inappropriate things in the Serbian language, which, I played in Serbia, I understand."
Luka Doncic received his 16th technical foul during a game against the Lakers, leading to a potential one-game suspension. The foul was called after an exchange with Goga Bitadze. Doncic expressed regret for the incident, stating he felt he let his team down. Bitadze claimed Doncic initiated the exchange with a curse in Serbian, which he repeated. Both players acknowledged the respect they have for each other and their families, with Bitadze emphasizing that his response was not directed at Doncic's family.
