Ares was born on April 25, the day after his dad scored 33 points against the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 2 of a Western Conference first-round playoff series. Gilgeous-Alexander did not have a game the day of Ares' birth and has led the Thunder in scoring during each playoff contest thus far. 

Luka Doncic feels as though he's 'letting [Kyrie Irving] down,' he said after the Mavs fell 116-111 to the Clippers in Game 4 of the first round. Irving was spectacular in the loss, notching 40 points, seven rebounds and five assists while Doncic managed a 29-10-10 triple-double. However, the MVP finalist was apparently displeased with his performance following the game, which evened the series at 2-2.  

Stephen A. Smith has claimed Russell Westbrook should have suspended for his 'inexcusable' behavior in Game 3 vs. the Mavericks, after the Clippers guard was involved in a number of controversial incidents. Westbrook was ejected from the game after shoving Dallas' Luka Doncic and PJ Washington. That scuffle started after Westbrook awkwardly yanked on the arm of Doncic during a foul, and he also slapped Josh Green's head in a hard foul earlier in the game, which was ruled a flagrant. For those reasons, Smith said Sunday that Westbrook shouldn't have been able to participate in Game 4, which LA narrowly won.  

Luka Doncic was greeted by an old face as he took to the court to prepare for his latest Dallas Mavericks outing on Friday night. Prior to their NBA playoff game against the LA Clippers , the Mavs superstar shared a warm embrace with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who headed to Dallas' American Airlines Center to watch his former basketball player in action. Doncic, one of the top talents in the NBA today, began his professional career in Spain with Perez's Real Madrid before leaving for the big league in 2018.

Strus was inbound on teammate Evan Mobley, resulting in a transfer. Strus was given the opportunity by Mobley in exchange for a shot from 60% of the court.

The high-arching shot subsequently bounced in the paint and made its way into the basket, just as the five-time All-Star predicted.

Jason Whitlock has continued his assaults on rival Stephen A. Smith, accusing the ESPN host of having 'racist double standards' over Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic. Both Embiid and Doncic have scored 70 points in a single game over the past few days, but Smith has wowed them by making contrasting remarks about the pair's performances.

Luka Doncic, a Mavericks player, seemed to have a Phoenix Suns fan ejected in Dallas on Wednesday night in reaction to rumors regarding his conditioning. 'Luka, you're tired!' In a video clip that has since gone viral, the Suns supporter was seen screaming. 'Get your ass on the treadmill!' During Phoenix's 132-109 victory at American Airlines Arena, Doncic, who has been chastised for his conditioning in the past, is seen gesturing to safety during play shortly before the Suns fan was ejected. Doncic's order to protect was in direct reaction to the 'treadmill' remark, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon's. However, when speaking to reporters afterwards, the 24-year-old Slovenian maintained that the fan issue was more serious than a fat joke. Doncic said he was cursing me the entire first half,' but that the man had crossed the line.'

The 24-year-old, four-time All-Star posted a snapshot of himself on Instagram with his head down to show his braids on film. If you needed assistance, it has yet to be revealed.

On Thursday, Sotheby's is expected to sell its second batch of game-worn NBA jerseys, as well as shirts from Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Back in November, the NBA and Sotheby's announced a multi-year contract, making the auction giants the league's most coveted source. The two companies unveiled their Tip-Off auction shortly after, where San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama's debut NBA jersey sold for $762,000.

Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs was forced to miss their game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night due to a back injury during warmups. The 19-year-old phenomenon suffered a bizarre injury before the game even began, which sidelined him against Luka Doncic and co., but when he did so, the ball boy trod on his foot.

Despite being at the majority of his games, Doncic said that Goltes is not the biggest basketball fan. As a result, they do not discuss the sport at home. 'It's a lot of pressure from the outside,' Doncic said. 'It's no basketball talk when I get home.' She doesn't like basketball, but she attends every game. She likes it now, but she didn't like it before, which is fine for me.' I love that.'

Not only did the 24-year-old point guard have a triple-double before halftime, but he also scored the NBA's first-ever 25-point triple-double within two quarters.

Doncic pulled off an amazing first half performance by shooting 63% from the field and 66% from the three-point line, respectively.

On Tuesday night, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd unleashed an expletive-laden outburst at an ESPN reporter, despite being subpoenaed in his ostensibly dull, monotone delivery. Tim MacMahon, a long-time NBA reporter who has been covering Kidd since his playing days, has requested that reporters have more positive coverage. The 50-year-old Hall of Famer said, 'It's alright to write positive stuff.' 'People will read your positive messages.' You don't have to be negative to be happy. The world is already negative.' MacMahon told Kidd about the Mavs' improved results in late-game scenarios, sparking the back-and-forth. The Mavs have been exceptional in clutch situations this season, as opposed to last year, when newly acquired Kyrie Irving struggled to mesh with star point guard Luka Doncic, resulting in a disappointing 38-44 record.

Luka Doncic, the Mavericks' superstar, had 41 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, and the Dallas Mavericks held off the Houston Rockets from progressing to the quarterfinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament with a 121-115 victory on Tuesday night.

Cuban will still have full control of basketball operations within the company even after the deal is finalized.

Nikola Jokic, the reigning NBA Finals MVP, is the 5/2 favorite with Sky Bet to win his third regular season MVP award. The Denver Nuggets center has improved from where he left off last season, with the Serb averaging 29.1 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in nine games (at the time of writing). Luka Doncic, the second-favourite in the market, has seen his odds increase from 17/4 to 11/2 thanks to Sky Bet's 'Price Boosts'.

For those predicting Luka Doncic to return to his red-hot form against Memphis on Tuesday, there are eye-catching odds of 50/1 for Doncic, 14+ rebounds, and 12+ assists. With his 60, 20, and 10 games against the New York Knicks last season, we're sure to see Doncic's brilliance on the offensive side of the field, we're more than capable of putting a stat line like the one in the bet above.

Luka Doncic held a basketball tournament on Saturday against a stunning backdrop, with participants competing on Slovenia's picturesque Lake Bled.
