NBA star Luka Doncic made his way to the American Airlines Center as the Dallas Mavericks face the Phoenix Suns for the last time this season. As Doncic entered the arena, fans could see him wearing a custom-made Real Madrid uniform. Interestingly, he covered a logo that rivals the athletic brand he promotes.
Doncic was listed as probable for tonight's game due to a broken nose, but the team has upgraded him to available. The Mavs and Suns are playing for the third and last time this season. Both teams are 1-1 against each other, and their game tonight will settle the season winner.
As a fan of soccer, Doncic often promotes his love for the sport. Often fans can see him showing off his footwork with his soccer skills. This time, he showed his support for Real Madrid's soccer team before the game. Before the Slovenian star was in the NBA, he played for their basketball team in EuroLeague.
But the soccer uniform features an Adidas logo on the right side. A brand that competes with Air Jordan, the athletic brand that signed Doncic in 2019. He still wore the uniform but covered up the Adidas logo with black tape. Watch and see the Mavs star wearing his custom-made soccer jersey.
