"Doncic stated, 'I'm definitely hoping [it is rescinded]. Obviously, I let my team down getting that last tech. But honestly, I wasn't trying to. He said at the free throw, he would fuck my whole family. And at some point, this is a basketball court. At some point, I just can't stand it. I got to stand up for myself.'"
"Bitadze responded to Doncic's claims, denying the version of events presented by Doncic, indicating a disagreement over what transpired during the game."

Bitadze later denied Doncic's account of the incident. Doncic expressed regret for letting his team down but felt compelled to defend himself against the remarks made by Bitadze during the game.
