The alternation between Harrell and Doncic began at the start of Game 3 between the Clippers and Mavs on Friday. During the first quarter, Trezz bumped into Luka while attempting a layup. As he ran back on defense, Harrell called Doncic a “bi**h a** white boy.” Right after the game, head coach Doc Rivers spoke with Harrell and addressed the incident with him.
“You just have to be careful,” the Clippers coach said of the incident. “They both were talking. I don’t think Luka was saying anything racial, but he was swearing. So they both were doing it. It’s an emotional game. It’s a playground game out there in the playoffs. I said to him, ‘Hey, I don’t think you meant anything racially by it.’ He said ‘white boy,' but I don’t think there was anything racial intended. But we are in a very heightened climate and you have to be careful. Trez was the first one to say that. He said, ‘I didn’t mean that racially.”
Furthermore, the league spoke with Harrell about what he said to Doncic. However, according to Sports Illustrated, they didn't fine or suspend him.
