The Los Angeles Clippers wing Terance Mann recalled the games against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson's of Bally Sports podcast.
The Clippers and Mavericks' confrontations had tense moments between Mann and Doncic.
According to Mann, it is nothing more than just competing and getting better. The Clippers player does not see him and the Mavericks' superstar as being rivals.
"I wouldn't say we're rivals," said Mann.
"It's all on-court stuff, fun, and games. I think we're out there making each other better," continued the Clippers player.
"Just out there battling and getting under each other's skin, and that's part of the game," added Mann.
