While NBA fans and Doncic Luka himself are still recovering from the surprise news of his trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers, his iPhone is going to need a bit of help to heal after the news.
Doncic recently sat down with ESPN’s Malika Andrews to discuss his unexpected trade from Dallas to LA. Apparently, his first reaction upon hearing he had been traded was to throw his iPhone across the room! (Hope he had AppleCare+.)
You can see the interview excerpt about the iPhoneicide (is that a word?) in the video below. The video is also available on X or on ESPN’s website.

While Doncic’s iPhone took a significant bit of damage upon impact, he’s still using it.
”It still works,” he tells Andrews.
Get to the Apple Store man! You’re an NBA star, the league has standards! (And allows five steps on a drive to the basket without calling traveling, but that’s an argument for another day.)
