Luka’s capacity to find humor amid trying circumstances was demonstrated by this move.

NBA star Luka Doncic discovered that his wallet was a little lighter when the league fined him $2,000 for a flopping infraction that occurred during the Dallas Mavericks’ most recent victory over the Houston Rockets.

The play in question happened early in the game when Doncic attempted a three-pointer over Dillon Brooks of the Rockets and appeared to fall without making contact.

Doncic, who is renowned for his comedy and carefree demeanor, answered in the most amusing way imaginable in spite of the fine. During practice, the 24-year-old shared photos on his Instagram account while dressed as a referee.

The fine follows a fantastic game in which Doncic led the Mavericks to a 121-115 victory over the Rockets while almost recording a triple-double with 41 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists.

Doncic has already faced disciplinary punishment from the league on previous occasions. He has accrued multiple technical fouls in the last few years for contesting rulings, but this season has seen a noticeable shift in his strategy.

He’s tied for fourth place after 17 games with just three technical fouls, demonstrating his improved discipline.

The fact that Kyrie Irving is now a part of the team that surrounds Doncic may have contributed to his ability to remain composed while playing.

His ability to laugh keeps him motivated.

Doncic maintained composure in the face of a fierce Rockets defense and dubious officiating in the most recent game, which greatly aided the Mavericks in winning.

Doncic seemed to be handling the $2,000 fine well, using his distinct sense of humor to lighten the situation.

Throughout the season, fans will be watching to see whether he can continue to be patient with officials, looking for the positive side of situations that could result in fines while still making sure the Mavericks have a good influence on the court.
