Jon Krawczynski: Kings coach Dave Joerger pushed back hard on suggestion that his comments yesterday about Luka Doncic were indicative of a rift with the front office. “There’s no veiled shots at anybody.” “When we drafted Marvin at 2, we were high-fiving like crazy. We got the right guy for us. This isn’t going to be a story in 3 days and it’ll be definitely buried 5 yrs from now when we have the next Durant-Westbrook. That’s how good they’re gonna be.”

Tim Cato: Luka, at one point, thought the Kings would draft him since they visited him in Madrid. On why he thinks they didn’t: “They needed a big guy, so it was a better fit.” @Tim MacMahon: “You don’t really believe that, do you?” Doncic, smiling: “I’m very excited being in Dallas.”
Dwain Price: It’s a final: Kings 120, @Dallas Mavericks 113. Luka finished with 28-6-8, Matthews had 13 pts, Barnes had 15 pts, Kleber 11 pts, Brunson 12 pts, DeAndre 8-23. Mavs are 15-13 and will start a 4-game road trip Tuesday in Denver.
Tim MacMahon: Kings coach Dave Joerger on Luka Doncic: “Perhaps there was an idea that there was a ceiling on him. I don’t see it, unfortunately for us. But he’s great for them and he’s great for our league.”
