The aftermath of Luka Doncic’s trade to the Los Angeles Lakers in Dallas remains tumultuous.
Supporters are struggling to come to terms with the departure of their beloved player. As was previously noted, they organized a protest outside the American Airlines Center ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Houston Rockets.
Frustration was palpable as hundreds gathered outside the venue, brandishing signs and chanting, primarily targeting general manager Nico Harrison and demanding his resignation, according to CBS reports.
Additionally, ESPN’s Tim MacMahon shared that Harrison has received death threats, prompting an increase in security measures for the evening’s game.
Barricades were erected, and police were stationed outside the American Airlines Center more than four hours prior to the game’s 21:00 CET tip-off. Anthony Davis is anticipated to make his debut in a Mavericks jersey following the trade from the Lakers.
