Former NBA Star Reveals His One Concern With Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic has had a roller coaster year.

The 26-year-old superstar led the Dallas Mavericks to the 2024 NBA Finals.

He was then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster deal earlier this year.

Despite having co-stars LeBron James and Austin Reaves, Doncic and the Lakers were unable to get out of the first round of the NBA playoffs.

They lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves (in five games).

Recently, 16-year NBA veteran Al Harrington revealed his concern with Doncic in an interview with Sloane Knows (h/t HoopsHype).

Harrington: "With Luka, I'm a big fan. I think he's one of the greatest players ever. My concern is always at the end of the season, he kind of flames out. Just because it's a long season... and if you're not taking care of yourself a long the way when it gets to the playoffs it becomes so intense."
