Doncic has quite the history with Thunder fans, going back to last season’s Western Conference semifinals, when he led the Mavericks to a 4-2 series win against OKC.
“I love it,” Doncic said of playing in OKC. “When they chant, ‘Luka sucks,’ it gets me going.”
OKC (65-14) will close out the regular season with a three-game road trip, starting Wednesday night at Phoenix.
Los Angeles (48-31) will visit Dallas on Wednesday, marking Doncic’s first trip back to American Airlines Center since February’s shocking Lakers-Mavericks trade.
