Video: Luka Doncic gets faced scratched in Game 1

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks turned out to be a physical one.

Around five minutes into the game and Golden State leading 11-9, Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins scratched Luka Doncic’s face as he attempted to steal the ball from the Mavericks star.

A fouled was called on Wiggins, and Doncic went to the free throw line for two shots.

Cameras zooming in on Doncic’s face showed a massive scratch stemming from the bridge of the 23-year-old’s nose to his right cheek.
