Luka Doncic was fined $2,000 by the NBA for a flopping incident. Responding with humor, he shared photos of himself dressed as a referee on Instagram.

In recent years, Doncic accumulated technical fouls, but this season he has shown more restraint, with only three in 17 games, tying him for fourth-most in the league. The improved relationship with officials may be attributed to the enhanced talent on the Mavericks’ roster, especially with Kyrie Irving joining.As the season progresses, it is hoped that Doncic will continue to display patience with officials and find humor in situations resulting in fines for attempting to influence referee decisions.
