'I was on the bench': Yaxel Lendeborg says how he really felt after Steph Curry dropped Luka Doncic

Steph Curry dropping Luka Doncic to the floor was the highlight of the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Cup win against the Los Angeles Lakers. The two superstars went head-to-head at the Chase Centre in San Francisco, and despite early dominance from the visitors, the hosts sealed a great win in the end. Everybody is talking about Curry’s ankle-breaker on Doncic, including the Slovenian’s new rival, Yaxel Lendeborg. Yaxel Lendeborg says he was ‘very happy’ to see Steph Curry drop Luka Doncic Lendeborg and Doncic formed a sudden rivalry that nobody expected in the first game of the season. The rookie and the superstar had a go at each other after Lendeborg took issue with Doncic complaining to the officials too much. The former even went on to say he lost respect for the Lakers icon. Since then, there has been a lot of hype heading into the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Cup game against the Los Angeles Lakers, all because of this newfound rivalry. Doncic won the individual battle on the floor, but Lendeborg has had the last laugh – not just because the Warriors won the game but also because Curry embarrassed the Slovenian. Unsurprisingly, after the game, Lendeborg was asked for his reaction to the incident, and he admitted that it made him happy. He said, as per KNBR : “It was amazing to watch. I was on the bench with my fourth foul, I think, but it was amazing to see. I was very happy about it. I’m happy big bro handled it.” We’re sure this will add a bit more fuel to the Yaxel-Luka drama, but Lendeborg was really poor where it mattered on Friday night – on the floor. The rookie managed just six points and one rebound in 24 minutes, which is his worst return for the Warriors since he made his debut on opening night. It remains to be seen how he will bounce back when Golden State take on the Clippers on Sunday night. ‘I’m just having fun’- Stephen Curry reacts to viral Luka Doncic ankle-breaker ‘Showed me a lot’: Skip Bayless reacts to what Luka Doncic did after Steph Curry ‘broke his ankles’ Charles Barkley shares thoughts on Draymond Green defending Yaxel Lendeborg disrespecting Luka Doncic
