The superstar was spotted complaining multiple times in the previous Celtics-Lakers clash.
Zach Lowe didn't mince words as he criticized Luka Doncic's body language and constant complaining in the Los Angeles Lakers' previous game against the Boston Celtics.

Lowe ripped the Slovenian superstar for showing more effort in raising his hands and questioning officials than playing to lead the Lakers to victory.
"The whining is back at just peak Dallas levels. It’s every f*cking play. Just play, man. Not everything is a foul," the NBA analyst said about Doncic on his Zach Lowe Show podcast.
"And it’s almost like, are you playing to draw a foul? Or are you playing basketball? Like, which one are you doing? Are you playing one-on-one with the refs? Or are you playing a game? It’s every single possession now. It’s completely out of control. It’s back to Dallas levels. It’s just unwatchable. And I hate it because he’s a genius. He’s a literal basketball genius who can get any shot and any pass he wants."
Doncic dropped 25 points in 9-of-22 shooting. He tallied -21, which served the worst across the group.
As such, several pieces of footage have gone viral already, with Doncic complaining about the lack of foul calls against Boston.
The Lakeshow fanbase can only hope Doncic can redirect his basketball focus, as their goal of winning an NBA title remains their main priority this year.
