“I recognize that it,” Doncic explained. “It is something which I am not supposed to perform. [It is hard ] with the emotions in matches, but obviously I have to stop. It is just difficult for me to the court along with all the feelings, but I recognize it and I have got to work with it. It is hard to get it done, but I have got to work on it and also be far better than that.”
Doncic made similar remarks in December 2019, stating,”I have only got to learn how to calm down myself and proceed on to another play.”
