Ric Flair reacted strongly to the recent absence of Luka Dončić. The Los Angeles Lakers star has been out since April because of a hamstring injury.
Reports say Luka is slowly improving and spending more time working on the court, but he still has not returned to full running or contact practice. The Lakers are monitoring his condition week by week, and they still have no clear return date.
Before Game 1 of the series, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair shared his thoughts publicly. He posted a message on social media about Luka Dončić’s injury absence.

The message referenced Dončić’s reported injury situation and salary. Flair also mentioned Jeanie Buss in the post. As of now, Dončić has not publicly responded to Flair’s comments as he is still recovering from his injury.
