Doncic also shut down rumors that have surfaced since the trade, including an unfounded claim from the Mavericks. Per ESPN's Tim McMahon, Dallas had 'major concerns' about his conditioning 'issues' and making a commitment to a supermax contract extension this summer.

Fans told ESPN that the Mavericks have offered refunds to those who have canceled season tickets in the wake of the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers.
