Another major disagreement emerged between the sides when Doncic refused Harrison’s request to join the team on a five-game trip leading up to his target return date. Harrison griped that Doncic was holding the team hostage, sources said. Doncic’s camp argued that he was better off having around-the-clock access to the Mavs’ practice facility than traveling with the team. It pointed out that Doncic was doing two-a-day, multihour basketball workouts, which wouldn’t be possible with court time difficult to book on the road. He also could utilize the weight room and the high-tech medical equipment at his convenience, which isn’t the case in other team’s arenas and hotels. -via ESPN / April 21, 2025
