Luka Doncic takes a frightening fall but appears to be okay | Lakers vs Mavs

Ten points we already documented how many years you played. You had to as well. Doncic hits the floor hard, immediately grabs for his head and his lower back after the foul by Dwight Howard. LeBron is right there to check on him. It didn't look like anything dirty on the foul, just a hard fall from Doncic after the contact. Remember when he got injured a couple of weeks ago, everybody held their breath when he hurt that right ankle. Wow, awkward and hard fall. I like the sportsmanship, everybody around making sure he's okay. Now, once you're okay, I'm gonna get back out to you, but let's keep it clean. There is a ton of respect that LeBron James has for Luka Doncic. The referees are taking a look at it. See, that's just a clean foul.
