Many Lakers fans were frustrated with Tuesday’s performance, including Ric Flair. The WWE legend didn’t hold back with his message for Doncic on X.
“Luka, Please Get In The Game! Take A Shot Of Cortisone And Deal With The Pain! They Are Paying You 50 Million A Year, And You’re Not There! WTF! I Hope Jeanie Buss Trades You Next Year. Nobody Wants A Lame Duck On Their Team!” Flair wrote.

Flair’s frustration may have stemmed from knowing that Los Angeles is a huge underdog against Oklahoma City. LeBron James stepped up in the first round in Doncic’s absence. However, he needs the six-time All-Star to help him topple and company.
