Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair didn\u2019t mince words when it came to Luka Doncic\u2019s absence from the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The Lakers fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> in Game of their second-round series, 108-90. Doncic missed the first round of the playoffs with a hamstring injury. Los Angeles has seen Austin Reaves return to the lineup in the last series. He played 36 minutes against the Thunder, but only scored eight points.<\/p>\n

Flair wrote on X that Doncic needed to get back in the game and that he hoped the Lakers decide to trade him.<\/p>\n

“Luka, Please Get In The Game! Take A Shot Of Cortisone And Deal With The Pain! They Are Paying You 50 Million A Year, And You\u2019re Not There! WTF! I Hope @JeanieBuss Trades You Next Year. Nobody Wants A Lame Duck On Their Team!” Flair wrote in his rant.<\/p>\n

Flair made clear in an interview with Fox News Digital<\/a> in 2023 that he keeps an eye on all sports \u2013 not just what\u2019s going on in pro wrestling.<\/p>\n

Particularly, he found players resting due to “load management” loathsome.<\/p>\n

“These basketball players that whine and b—h, it’s taken a lot of the sport away from me,” he said at the time.<\/p>\n

Flair contrasted wrestling through his own injuries to NBA<\/a> players sitting out through injuries he felt they should be able to play through.<\/p>\n

“They go to work hurt,” Flair said about pro wrestlers at the time. “That\u2019s what p—-s me off today about these basketball players that stub their toe. No s—. How do you think I feel about that knowing I wrestled six months after I broke my back in a f—ing airplane crash? \u2018I got a torn thumbnail. Whoa, whoa, whoa.\u2019”<\/p>\n

In any event, Doncic\u2019s hamstring injury cost him the last five games of the regular season and each of the Lakers\u2019 playoff games.<\/p>\n
