Warriors rookie refuses media training ahead of highly anticipated matchup with Luka Doncic

Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg said he will not attend media training, insisting he will stay true to himself and speak honestly after a busy first week in the league. He previously criticized Luka Doncic following a 127‑105 loss, calling the Dallas star a flopper and foul baiter, then admitted he went overboard with the trash talk.

Lendeborg, the 11th overall pick who grew up disliking Steph Curry as a Cavaliers fan, scored 26 points against the Timberwolves while Curry poured in 44, tying LeBron James for the most 40‑point games after age 35. He will face Doncic again on Friday at the Chase Center, looking to redeem himself.
