Popping off? Salah Mejri swears he didn't after dunk in blowout

DALLAS -- There is probably never a good time for an opposing player to talk trash to San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.

If there is, it sure isn’t when your team is down 21 points early in the second quarter.

It appeared that Dallas Mavericks reserve center Salah Mejri did just that after dunking on the Spurs. He certainly yelled something as he ran past the San Antonio bench, but the 29-year-old rookie from Tunisia insists that his hollering wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, much less the legendary Pop.
