Austin Reaves Addresses ‘Insane’ Luka Doncic Development in NBA MVP Race
Luka Doncic's impressive performance in the NBA has sparked debate about his chances of winning the MVP award. Despite his historic scoring streak, Doncic has dropped to fourth in the MVP rankings, prompting teammate Austin Reaves to express his surprise and support for Doncic's candidacy.
Luka Doncic played through hamstring soreness and scored 41 points in a 116-99 Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Doncic's performance extended his career-high 30-point scoring streak to 12 consecutive games. He also recorded his 100th steal of the season, becoming the first Laker since Kobe Bryant to reach the mark. Doncic's teammate Austin Reaves expressed surprise that Doncic has dropped to fourth in the MVP rankings. Reaves said it's 'insane' that Doncic continues to drop in the MVP race despite his impressive performances. Doncic will sit out the Lakers' next game due to a technical foul, which triggered an automatic one-game suspension. The Lakers are currently 48-26, with 11 victories in their last 12 games.
