Did Luka Doncic snub Paul George's jersey swap attempt after their Game 7 showdown? Well, that's what most Dallas Mavericks fan believe after the Slovenian youngster didn't give his jersey to the Los Angeles Clippers star.
Below is the video of the said moment. After the Clippers punched their ticket to the second round, George made sure to show his respect to Luka. It also appeared that he gave some encouraging words to Luka. PG13 then handed his jersey to the Mavs playmaker, but it seems Doncic didn't give his as he proceeded to congratulate and talk to other LA players.

In his postgame presser, however, Luka Doncic clarified what happened and said he did send one to George in their locker room. He probably did not want to remove his jersey or was just in a rush to head back after the frustrating Mavs loss, but there was no ignoring that happened.
"I did send one after, in the locker room."

For what it's worth, Paul George and the Clippers showed Doncic a lot of love after the game. The 22-year-old Mavs guard punished LA throughout the series that went the distance, and it was clear he garnered the respect and admiration of his opponents.

Before any more rumors start, there's certainly no beef between George and Doncic. Calm down, everyone
