There is no shortage of difficult games between the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks in the semifinals of the local Western Conference.
Clippers forward in Game 5 of the series Marcusas Morrisas rose to the traumatized Luka Dončičiaus ankles, but later argued that it was not intentional behavior.
“I play this game with great respect for myself and my opponents. It’s crazy to me to think that I could hurt someone on purpose. I have been playing against the best for 10 years. I am for values and hard work. I fight and always give up all my strength, ”Morris said.

However, in the sixth and possibly decisive match of the series, M. Morris was again involved in a nasty incident with L. Dončičius.
The Slovenian ran to the basket and kept in close contact with M. Morris, who, without trying to dodge the offense, brutally hit L. Dončičius and knocked him to the ground.
The Slovenian basketball talent quickly got off the floor and was quick to explain to M. Morris, but was stopped by Boban Marjanovic.
For M. Morris, the game ended because of this foul: he was sent off the field.

Marcus Morris needs to see a significant suspension from the NBA. Third high-profile / blatant incident he’s had with Luka Doncic on this series and it’s obvious there’s a “Jordan Rules” mentality that Morris has put into practice on Doncic this series.
It is despicable. https://t.co/Wvtpzv8B5O– Boys like sports podcast (@GuysLikeSports_) August 30, 2020
Morris is a dirty dirty player, deserving of a blatant 2, and the league should suspend him in the event of a game 7, it doesn’t make sense what he did. Shows how much of a snake you are trying to get out of doncic. That’s the truth
