Excerpt from Shelburn and MacMahons new article on the details of the crumbling relationship between Luka Doncic and the Maverics

If Doncic wasn't going to change his ways, the Mavericks figured they would prod him by making changes around him. In August 2023, the team fired former director of player health and performance Casey Smith, who has since been hired by Jalen Brunson's New York Knicks. After last season, the Mavs fired strength coach Jeremy Holsopple and manual therapist Casey Spangler. All three had been with the team since before Doncic was drafted and had strong relationships with him.

"They get rid of everybody I like," Doncic griped in recent months, one source said.

The plan backfired.

And Nico wonders why he and team aren’t involved in Luka’s current rehab. ” Look at the big brain on Brett.”
