Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd addressed the defensive responsibilities of his star player, Luka Doncic, during the team’s recent media day. Kidd spoke candidly about the challenges the Mavericks face on defense after losing one of their top defenders, Derrick Jones Jr., this offseason.
Kidd offered a mix of humor and seriousness when discussing Doncic’s role on defense. “There’s going to be nights where Luka has to guard someone,” Kidd remarked. He acknowledged the need for a collective effort to fill the defensive gap left by Jones’ departure.
