Luka Doncic press conference gets interrupted by apparent sex noises
Luka Doncic froze when his press conference was interrupted by what sounded like sex noises after Game 2 of the Mavericks-Thunder second-round playoff series.
The Mavericks’ All-NBA guard stopped talking in the middle of an explanation about his team’s energy and became wide-eyed during the unexpected moment.
It sounded like a high-pitched female voice moaning for a few seconds and then it stopped.
Doncic, 25, then hung his head and covered his face with his hand while laughing.
“Ok, um, moving on,” a reporter said while others in the press conference laughed.
“I hope that’s not live,” Doncic said.
Things moved along after that and the five-time All-Star explained what kept him going in the Mavericks’ 119-110 win against Oklahoma City.
“It was one of the hardest games I’ve had to play,” Doncic said after Dallas evened the series at 1-1.
Doncic, who’s been dealing with a right knee sprain, finished with 29 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists after a shooting slump in Game 1.
He score or assisted on 24 of 36 points for Dallas in the first quarter.
Mavericks forward PJ Washington scored 19 of his 29 points in the first half and tallied 11 rebounds and four assists.
Doncic and Washington became the first duo in NBA history with 25 points, including five three-pointers, and 10 rebounds in a playoff game, per ESPN stats.
Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. finished with 17 points in the Game 2 win.
It was OKC’s first loss in the 2024 NBA playoffs.
The Mavericks host the Thunder for Game 3 in Dallas on Saturday.
