Luka Doncic didn't mince his words when discussing his opinion of the officiating during the Mavericks game on Sunday night. Doncic claims to have gotten hit in the face multiple times during the game, without the officials calling a foul. After the game, the Mavs star voiced his frustration with the referees.

"I got hit in the face three times, two of the times was not a foul, and one was a knee to the face," Doncic explained. When asked what the refs response was, he claimed "they didn't care."

After a pump fake late in the game against the Pacers, Doncic was kneed in the faced by Edmond Sumner. While a foul was called on that play, Luka felt the officials should have further reviewed it, and made sure to reference the two separate occasions in which contact to his head went uncalled.

While Doncic has emerged as a superstar within NBA circles, it seems officials have yet to include him in that class and he was clearly frustrated by the lack of foul calls he received on Sunday.
