However, this is not the case. WFAA, an ABC affiliate in Dallas, took a deep dive into finding the context behind the highlights in the hype video where players were blurred out. None of them were Dončić, although interestingly, the blurred players did include Quentin Grimes and Maxi Kleber, who were both dealt at the deadline. What further disproves this conspiracy is that Dončić is actually shown in the background of a Kyrie Irving highlight unblurred 47 seconds into the video. So clearly, if they were focused solely on blurring out Luka Dončić, they did a pretty poor job of doing so… Maybe the Mavericks video team thought having players blurred out was a cool design that added to the video’s aesthetic. Or perhaps the video strategically blurred out players who were dealt at the deadline. -via Awful Announcing / February 22, 2025
