BREAKING NEWS: Dallas Mavericks Star Luka Dončić Draws Tattoo—Suspended by Coach Jason Kidd Over NCAA Activity Violation Confusion
In a bizarre and unexpected twist that has left fans scratching their heads, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić has been suspended indefinitely from team activities by head coach Jason Kidd—over what appears to be a tattoo-related NCAA misunderstanding.
Sources close to the team report that Dončić, a perennial All-Star and global icon, recently sketched a temporary tattoo on his arm during a lighthearted locker room moment with teammates. The design, believed to be a playful homage to his college-aged cousin’s university mascot, was mistakenly interpreted by Coach Kidd as a violation of NCAA amateurism rules.
“I thought he was trying to enter college basketball eligibility again or something,” said a bewildered Kidd in a post-practice interview. “With the way NIL and transfer rules are changing, I just didn’t want to risk anything.”
The suspension has sent shockwaves through the NBA and social media, with #FreeLuka trending within minutes of the announcement.
Dončić, who never played college basketball and has been in the NBA since 2018, responded with humor:
“I just drew a cartoon squirrel. I’m 26, I don’t think I can be suspended by the NCAA.”
Legal experts have weighed in, confirming that the NCAA has no jurisdiction over NBA players and cannot enforce any such penalty. The Mavericks front office is reportedly reviewing the situation.
