The situation in Dallas after Luka Doncic’s trade to the Los Angeles Lakers has yet to settle down.
Fans are having a hard time accepting the fact that their favorite player left the team. As previously reported, they decided to protest in front of the American Airlines Center before tonight’s game against the Houston Rockets.
The fans voiced their frustration as hundreds of them gathered outside the arena, holding signs and chanting, mostly directing their anger toward general manager Nico Harrison and calling for his resignation, per CBS.
Even ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reported that Harrison received death threats and that security for tonight’s game will be “beefed up.”
There were barricades set up, with police present outside the American Airlines Center even four and a half hours before tonight’s game, set to tip off at 21:00 CET. Anthony Davis is reported to make his debut in a Mavs jersey after the trade from the Los Angeles Lakers.
