The comments pleased the young star, who agreed with his coach. “There’s a lot of things that I need to improve on, on and off the court. This is one of them,” Doncic said. “Obviously, he’s right, but I feel that I have to prove a lot of things.”
Doncic averaged 35.7 points, 10.3 assists, and 7.9 rebounds in a seven-game loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the 2020-21 NBA playoffs.
However, Dallas remains winless in all their postseason series since Kidd, as a player, won the franchise’s first championship a decade ago.
