Luka, AR and the hilarious bromance fueling the Lakers’ wild start
THE GRANDIOSE 8,000-SQUARE-FOOT Manhattan Beach mansion that Luka Doncic purchased this past offseason from tennis star Maria Sharapova, cementing his new home in Los Angeles, was designed with a minimalist motif.
Tall walls of bare concrete, massive glass doors and black metal accents in the five-bedroom residence guide dwellers through an open floor plan, with plenty of balconies and curated outdoor spaces to take in the pristine Pacific Ocean view.
Tucked inside the basement, there is a premium man cave amenity that doubles as an irresistible lure for competition junkies: a two-lane bowling alley.
The pins and wooden planks might not seem like an architectural fit with the rest of the home’s interior, but it serves an important purpose: something to sustain Doncic’s legendary competitive drive, even when he’s off the floor.
So when a text from Doncic popped up on Austin Reaves‘ phone on an off night in early December, inviting the Lakers guard to visit Doncic’s place, the itinerary was not just to turn on League Pass, eat dinner and shoot the breeze.
There would, of course, be competition involved.
“He was like, ‘Come over. We’re bowling,'” Reaves told ESPN.
Reaves made the 10-minute drive to his teammate’s crib, where he found not only Doncic, but two of Doncic’s friends, plus Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean and L.A.’s head video coordinator, Michael Wexler, awaiting his arrival.
Three-man teams were formed. Games were played. Scores were kept.
“But it all really came down to the 1-on-1 at the end,” Reaves said.
This is where Reaves’ and Doncic’s accounts of the night diverge.
“I won,” Doncic told ESPN.
“We bowled for, I think, maybe three games,” Reaves said. “And, yeah, I’m 3-0.”
“I’m sure he said he won,” Doncic said when informed of Reaves’ answer.
With no wiggle room to further protest Reaves, short of calling him a liar, Doncic took a different tact.
“I let him, you know, get comfortable,” Doncic said. “It was his first time in the house, so I let him get comfortable.”
And so goes the relationship between the Lakers’ starting backcourt mates.
Equal parts sarcastic and real, Doncic and Reaves’ budding bromance has set the tone for a Lakers team that has shot up to No. 4 in the Western Conference standings to begin the season, despite LeBron James missing more than half of L.A.’s games because of injuries.
The irreverence between Doncic and Reaves has not only kept the locker room loose, but also it has helped turned down the noise on potential pressure points that could distract a team: James’ career winding down; the franchise’s sale and Jeanie Buss’ subsequent decision to fire her brothers, Joey and Jesse, in the front office; and even Reaves’ contract status after turning down an $89 million extension in June.
Perhaps most importantly, it has established a culture for a Lakers group that appears to be as close knit as they come.
“We all know we have love for each other, but we can still be each other’s biggest critics,” Lakers rookie Adou Thiero told ESPN. “You always hear Austin and Luka, they’re always going back and forth about who is better at what. Oh, ‘You suck at this,’ ‘You suck at that,’ but you get on the court and … they’re sticking together, we’re all sticking together.”
WHILE DONCIC AND Reaves shared some success on the court last season — the Lakers were 16-10 when the duo played together — they didn’t have much of a relationship off of it.
“Bron said that he acted like I acted my rookie year: never talked,” Reaves said. “Kind of just stayed to himself. Which is understandable. I mean, with the crazy events that happened, you know it’s going to take time to get used to a new situation.”
After spending the first 5 ½ years of his career in Dallas, Doncic gravitated toward people he already knew when he first got to L.A., sources told ESPN.
He worked out with St. Jean, who previously had been an assistant for the Mavs. He sat near Maxi Kleber, who was included in the deal for Anthony Davis.
He conversed with coach JJ Redick, who had been his teammate, briefly, in Dallas and whom he had stayed in touch with as Redick embarked on a media career. (“I really respect him,” Doncic said of Redick during his introductory press conference. “You don’t see me go on podcasts. I went on his podcast twice.”)
And he would get most animated when he was around Dorian Finney-Smith, another former teammate with the Mavs, whom L.A. acquired in a trade a couple months before Doncic’s arrival.
A typical interaction would start with Doncic teasing Finney-Smith about his belly button being an “outie,” and Finney-Smith sparring right back by wondering how Doncic could be slower than him when he was six years younger.
Even after the disappointment of the Lakers’ first-round playoff loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves — a series in which a stomach bug derailed Doncic in Game 3 and Reaves missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have forced overtime in Game 4 — the duo still hadn’t developed a connection.
So when Doncic signed a $165 million extension in August and celebrated the occasion by going on a trip with teammates, coaches and staffers to a Backstreet Boys concert at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Reaves missed a perfect opportunity to become closer with the Lakers’ new poster boy.
While Doncic was belting out the lyrics to “I Want It That Way,” Reaves was overseas, fulfilling an endorsement obligation for his signature Rigorer sneakers.
At the end of the night, Doncic posted to Instagram, showing him and a handful of teammates dressed in white for the show and going backstage, where he autographed one of his trading cards for Nick Carter and made a reel where it appeared he was deep in conversation with Brian Littrell — only for the camera to pan out and show the 5-foot-7 Littrell needing to kneel on top of a ping pong table to be eye level with the 6-foot-8 Doncic.
Wanting to show support, even from afar, Reaves posted a congratulatory message in response.
It didn’t take long for Doncic to see it.
“He slid [in my direct messages] and was like, ‘Thanks for coming to Vegas,'” Reaves recalled.
Reaves sent back a selfie from Xiamen, China.
“I could tell, like, the joking spirit that he had,” Reaves said. “Like, it was, just, a breath of fresh air. I could tell at that moment that we were going to have a good relationship.”
And Doncic’s response to the selfie? “I said he’s too big [for me],” Doncic said. “He’s selling shoes in China now.”
With their personalities beginning to mesh off the floor, they both knew the next step needed to be meshing their similar games on it.
Both players are three-level scorers and creators who thrive with the ball in their hands.
While their overlapping skill sets could have created tension over who would have control of the offense, the 27-year-old Reaves and 26-year-old Doncic have worked together seamlessly — which was especially important with James sidelined all of training camp, preseason and the first 14 games because of sciatica.
When the Lakers coaching staff huddled over the summer, whatever concerns they had about how to maximize each player without undercutting either of them quickly subsided.
“It helps so much that they both look to pass,” a Lakers coach told ESPN.
That trust in their fundamentals informs the offensive system the Lakers put in place.
“A lot of the, ‘How do we make this work’ was utility plays and then not overthinking like, ‘Oh, we got to run all this action,'” Redick said. “It’s like, ‘No, let’s get the ball to the best players and try to create advantages that way through a very simple system.’ We don’t have to overcomplicate things.”
So far, that simplicity has reaped considerable rewards. Doncic’s and Reaves’ combined scoring average of 61.4 points per game is the second-most by a duo in the last 60 years, according to ESPN Insights. James Harden and Russell Westbrook combined for 61.6 points per game in 2019-20.
They both constantly pressure defenses and draw fouls when they do. The Lakers lead all teams in points per direct drive per game, which is fueled by Reaves, who ranks first among all players with at least 200 drives this season. Doncic is second, according to GeniusIQ.
Doncic leads the league in free throw attempts per game, while Reaves is fourth. They are in range to become the first teammates to each average 9.0 or more free throw attempts per game since Harden and Dwight Howard did so for the Houston Rockets in 2013-14.
While they have joint command of the offense – in the games they’ve played together, Doncic and Reaves have scored or assisted on 288 of the 402 shots the Lakers have made (72%) – they’ve both had stretches where they’ve starred solo.
Doncic, for his part, scored 92 points in the Lakers’ first two games of the season.
After the second game — in which Doncic scored 49 points on 14-for-23 shooting, corralled 11 rebounds and dished out 8 assists in the Lakers’ 128-110 win over the Timberwolves — Reaves told ESPN that he thought Doncic could average 40 for the whole season.
When Doncic was told of Reaves’ opinion, he issued his own.
“Austin’s stupid,” he said.
Doncic then sat out the Lakers’ next three games with a left finger sprain and lower left leg contusion, and it was Reaves’ turn.
He averaged 40 points, 10 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals while guiding L.A. to a 2-1 record, punctuating the stretch with a game-winning floater at the buzzer to secure another victory against that same Wolves team that had ended their season a few months back.
If Doncic wasn’t sold on Reaves by that point, watching him dominate — and win — while he and James were in street clothes more than did it.
“He’s realizing, ‘F—, Austin is good!'” a team source told ESPN. “It was the same way he loved [Jalen] Brunson and loved Kyrie [Irving]. There’s an appreciation for great players.”
Luka Doncic on if he can average 40 points per game this season:
“That’s going to be tough …”
I followed up by saying that Austin Reaves told me he thinks he could.
Luka, with a big smile: “Austin’s stupid.” pic.twitter.com/jnLjKfe4CE— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) November 1, 2025
THE COMPETITION BETWEEN the two knows no bounds. And neither does the incessant ribbing.
“I saw that we had — I don’t love saying this — many similarities in how we like to compete in all different things,” Reaves said. “Not just basketball. Whatever. Cards, bowling, darts … which he hasn’t beaten me at either.”
Reaves doesn’t watch football, but he picked the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15 in a wager against his teammate, just because he wanted Doncic’s beloved Dallas Cowboys to lose.
While they each are loath to concede any ground to the other, Reaves admits that Doncic is the favorite in foosball, and Doncic isn’t trying to see Reaves on the golf course.
“I’m ducking him,” Doncic said. “I can’t golf.”
Where they both agree, though, is what the Lakers need to do to be real contenders in the West.
Despite the Lakers’ 19-9 start, they rank 24th in defense. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Detroit Pistons, which sit atop the West and East standings, respectively, rank No. 1 and No. 2.
“For the start of the season, I was playing great defense,” Doncic, who is hoping to play on Christmas Day after dealing with a left calf contusion, told ESPN. “Trying to get back to that.”
Reaves, who recently missed three games with a mild left calf strain before coming off the bench Tuesday in Phoenix, agrees.
“I think we just got to get healthy and log minutes together and guard with all five guys on the court,” he said. “You have to be locked into every little detail, every little rotation. When you do that, that’s when you become a good defense.”
It figures to be a season-long challenge for this Lakers team, especially with the roster as presently constructed.
But it’s one that Doncic and Reaves won’t shy away from. And one in which Doncic and Reaves can channel their competitive spirits together — including on Thursday against the dynamic Houston Rockets.
Meanwhile, their relationship continues to grow.
Reaves has been back to Doncic’s house for additional rounds of bowling since their initial playdate — not a small gesture, or typical. (Consider Derek Fisher famously told GQ in 2010 that he’d never been to Kobe Bryant’s house in the nearly 15 years since joining the Lakers together as rookies in 1996.) And they used another recent off night to sit courtside for a South Bay Lakers game to cheer on Thiero and some of their other younger teammates.
“We act like we’re probably 10-year old best friends,” Reaves said. “You have a deeper care for one another than just basketball. And then that bleeds into basketball, because you don’t want to let that person down. … You don’t want to not give it your all.”
Doncic said: “We kind of understand each other — what the other is going to do. So I would say it’s a little bit natural.”
Still, whenever earnestness begins to creep in, they’re just as quick to revert back.
“I tell him all the time, I’m like, ‘Yo, you got to grow up,'” Reaves said. “And he’s like, ‘The day I grow up, fight me, because I never want to grow up.’
“I was like, ‘I love that.'”

BCB chief ‘arrives’ in Pakistan ahead of ICC meeting on India match boycott
- BCB president to attend ICC’s meeting: sources.
- Other board members likely to also attend emergency meeting.
- Aminul Islam to also meet PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
LAHORE: In the aftermath of Pakistan’s announcement to boycott its T20 World Cup 2026 match against India, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Aminul Islam has arrived in Pakistan, sources said on Sunday.
During his stay in Pakistan, the BCB chief, sources added, will attend the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) emergency meeting later today, with other board members also expected to participate.
Islam will also meet Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi before departing for Dhaka, the sources said.
Meanwhile, an ICC delegation led by its deputy chairman is also due to reach Pakistan at 4:30pm, to discuss the situation arising after Pakistan’s boycott of India match.
The development comes against the backdrop of Pakistan’s decision to boycott its World Cup match against India, scheduled for February 15, amid what the PCB has described as the ICC’s biased approach, with Bangladesh playing a central role in the dispute.
Tensions flared between the cricket boards of Bangladesh and India after Bangladesh’s star pacer Mustafizur Rahman was dropped from the Indian Premier League (IPL) on the directions of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), sparking outrage in Dhaka.
Later, the BCB requested the ICC to shift its matches outside India, but the international cricket body rejected the plea. Following the BCB’s firm stance, the ICC replaced Bangladesh with Scotland in the tournament, saying it was not feasible to change the schedule so close to the February 7 start of the event.
Furthermore, the PCB has dismissed reports by Indian media claiming that it had offered dialogue to the ICC to resolve the issue surrounding its decision to forfeit the India match.
PCB spokesperson Amir Mir issued the rebuttal after Indian journalist Vikrant Gupta claimed that the PCB had reached out to the ICC for dialogue on the India-Pakistan World Cup game.
Any clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is one of the most lucrative fixtures in cricket, worth millions of dollars in broadcast, sponsorship and advertising revenue.
In commercial terms, the overall value of a single India-Pakistan T20 match is estimated at around $500 million, or approximately INR45,000 crore, when broadcast rights, advertising premiums, sponsorship activations, ticket sales and downstream commercial activity are taken into account.
According to a report, advertising slots during an India-Pakistan T20 match command between INR25 lakh and INR40 lakh for a 10-second spot, significantly higher than even knockout matches involving India against other top teams.
The most immediate financial impact would be felt by the official broadcast rights holder, as advertising revenue from the India-Pakistan match alone is estimated at around INR300 crore, the Indian publication cited industry projections as suggesting.
The BCB chief’s reported arrival in Pakistan is also being viewed in the context of earlier Indian media reports claiming that the ICC was seeking back-channel talks with the PCB and had tasked its deputy chairman Imran Khwaja, to engage with the Pakistani board on the issue.

Key Super Bowl intel through the lens of NFL Next Gen Stats
Rewind to the beginning of September, when there were 32 NFL teams gearing up for a run to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California — home of Super Bowl LX.
Now, only two remain — with the Seattle Seahawks set to take on the New England Patriots on Sunday for the Lombardi Trophy.
The last time the Seahawks played the Patriots in a Super Bowl 11 years ago, Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson to effectively end the game, a play that would go down as one of the most memorable in Super Bowl history.
Most of the players from that game are retired, but the ripple effect remains.
This year’s Seahawks defense is similar to that 2014 Super Bowl team — with both teams allowing the fewest points in the NFL in the regular season. On the other side of the ball, Seattle has leaned throughout the playoffs on quarterback Sam Darnold, who has diced up defenses to the tune of a 122 passer rating.
For the Patriots, they are led by second-year quarterback Drake Maye. His regular-season success that led to him being an MVP finalist hasn’t fully translated to the postseason — where he has four touchdowns in three games and a 55% completion percentage, and he has also been sacked 15 times. In the regular season, Maye had 35 total touchdowns while leading the league in completion percentage (72%).
In the postseason, the Patriots defense has more than done its part. It has allowed 8.6 points per game in the playoffs — with the Los Angeles Chargers being the next closest team after giving up 16 points in their opening-round loss to New England.
Here’s a look at some NFL Next Gen Stats that could reveal what will decide the Super Bowl:
Darnold under pressure
Throughout the playoffs, the Patriots have generated pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Against the Houston Texans in the divisional round, quarterback C.J. Stroud went 2-of-16 passing for 13 yards with an interception when pressured.
In the wild-card round, the Patriots held Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to three completions on eight attempts with six sacks. In the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos, quarterback Jarrett Stidham completed one pass for 4 yards on 10 attempts when under pressure.
Darnold, though, has avoided turnovers and remained poised under 21 pressured dropbacks through two postseason games. He has gone 7-of-16 for 117 yards and four touchdowns (five sacks). In the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams, he threw three touchdowns under pressure (5-of-11 for 102 yards).
Sam Darnold completed 5-of-11 passes under pressure for 102 yards and a career-high three TDs against the Rams in the NFC Championship.
Across Darnold’s first two games against the Rams this season, Darnold threw zero TDs and three INTs under pressure.

— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) January 26, 2026
It has been a completely different tale from the regular season, as Darnold committed a turnover on a league-high 7.2% of his pressured dropbacks — including six interceptions and five fumbles lost. The Patriots have generated four turnovers caused by pressure through three postseason games after causing three such turnovers during the regular season (third fewest).
But protecting Darnold has been effective. Despite facing the second-highest blitz rate this season (35.1%), the Seahawks allowed just a 29.2% pressure rate (fifth lowest) and 38 unblocked pressures (seventh fewest). Every Seahawks starting offensive lineman finished in the top 12 at their position in pressure-rate allowed.
Protecting Maye
Maye was sacked on five of his 11 pressured dropbacks in the AFC Championship Game, resulting in his second-highest pressure-to-sack rate in a game in his career (45.5%), trailing only his 62.5% rate in the divisional round against the Texans (eight pressures, five sacks).
Maye has been sacked 15 times this postseason, which is the most by any player to reach a Super Bowl since the AFL-NFL merger 1970. He has taken a sack on 48.4% of his pressured dropbacks this postseason, more than double his 20.3% rate during the regular season.
The Seahawks defense this season, including playoffs, per @NextGenStats:
• 22.3% blitz rate (5th lowest)
• 38.1% pressure rate (4th highest)
• 48.2% pressure rate with blitz (3rd highest)
• 35.2% pressure without blitz (5th highest)Drake Maye passer rating by situation (QB…
— NFL Researcher (@NFL_Researcher) January 28, 2026
Patriots left tackle Will Campbell allowed five pressures on 30 pass blocks in the AFC Championship (16.7%) and has now allowed four or more pressures in every game this postseason. Campbell has been tasked with difficult matchups, going against both Broncos pass rusher Nik Bonitto (four pressures allowed) and Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (three pressures allowed, two sacks) 14 times each. Bonitto generated the second-highest pressure rate in the NFL during the regular season (20.2%, minimum 250 pass rushes) while Anderson ranked third highest (19.5%).
However, it won’t get easier against the Seattle defense which is ranked tied for seventh in sacks (47).
JSN’s dominance from all over the field
Having an answer for Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been tough for teams this season. The All-Pro wide receiver led the NFL in receiving yards (1,793); when aligned out wide, he also led the league with 1,378 yards after he led the league with 956 yards when aligned in the slot last season.
In the NFC Championship Game, Smith-Njigba totaled 153 receiving yards, including 105 from out wide, and he also caught his first career touchdown when aligned in the backfield. The Patriots will be on high alert trying to figure out where he is.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba totaled a league-leading 1,378 yards when aligned as an outside receiver this season after pacing the NFL with 956 from the slot in 2024.
He is the only player in the Next Gen Stats era to ever lead the NFL in both categories.#SEAvsNE | #SuperBowlLX pic.twitter.com/Z4k90wBBl4
— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) February 3, 2026
Smith-Njigba aligned out wide on 81.3% of snaps this season, but he was in the slot at a season-high 42.1% rate in the NFC Championship Game. This could be a factor if Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak decides to have his star receiver avoid All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez.
Key matchup: Pats jumbo vs. Seahawks’ nickel personnel
The Patriots’ offense has used jumbo personnel on 18.4% of its snaps since Week 11 (115 of 624, including the playoffs). New England scored a league-high 13 touchdowns from the grouping during the regular season, while averaging 6.1 yards per play (third most). The biggest beneficiary is Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson. He ran for 225 yards and scored four touchdowns on 23 carries out of jumbo sets this season.
Stevenson’s 9.8 yards per carry out of jumbo was a full three yards more than any other player in 2025, and the most by any player with at least 20 such carries in a season during the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016). The Patriots rushed for 10 touchdowns out of jumbo as a team, two more than any other offense (Steelers, eight).
What set the Patriots & Seahawks apart was their ability to effectively defend against heavy personnel.
Seattle stayed in nickel on 77.8% of plays against sub packages (no other team was above 60.5%), leading the league in defensive EPA.
New England also ranked top 10 in both. pic.twitter.com/Fd8r9ylDWJ
— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) February 4, 2026
The Seahawks rarely faced jumbo personnel throughout the regular season (26 plays, fourth lowest). But they matched jumbo looks with nickel personnel on 46.2% of those snaps.
More Maye
Maye’s downfield passes were among the best this season (10 or more air yards), leading the league with 112 completions while also posting a league-high 61.2% completion percentage. He also threw 19 touchdowns on downfield passes, tied with Darnold and Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford for the most.
But in the playoffs, Maye is 9-of-26 on passes traveling over 10 yards (34%). If Maye can’t let it rip, expect him to run — as he recorded the third-most scramble yards this season with 423. He was especially effective when tucking to run on early downs.
Drake Maye totaled 65 rushing yards, a career-high six first downs, and a TD on the ground in the AFC Championship against the Broncos.
Maye scored his touchdown and the game-sealing first down on designed runs while scrambling three times for 57 yards.

— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) January 25, 2026
On first- and second-down scramble rushes, Maye led the NFL with 46 carries, 330 yards and 16 first downs (tied for the most with Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes). His scramble run rate of 10.7% on early downs was actually higher than his 9.1% rate on third down, making him one of 14 qualified quarterbacks to take off and run more often on first and second down than third.

Chaos ensues at UNC-Duke game after fans storm court too early, evacuate for final 0.4 seconds
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Chapel Hill was buzzing just a bit too early Saturday night.
The 14th-ranked Tar Heels hit a 3-pointer in the closing seconds that everyone thought was a walk-off buzzer-beater over No. 4 Duke.
In their defense, the horn sounded, and the clock showed zeroes, so legions of Tar Heel blue stormed the court. Seth Trimble even did Stephen Curry’s “go to sleep” celebration after hitting nothing but net.

However, officials reviewed the replay and decided to put 0.4 seconds back on the clock.
Hundreds of fans then had to clear the court, which had to be wiped down after food and drinks spilled everywhere.
Thankfully for them, the original court storm was not a jinx. Duke couldn’t handle the inbound pass, sealing a 71-68 victory for North Carolina.
It was UNC’s largest comeback win over Duke since 2001 after trailing by 13 points. The Tar Heels went on a 9-0 run over the final 2:25 and did not lead at any point until the final score.

RICK PITINO TO ST. JOHN’S STAR ZUBY EJIOFOR: ‘YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE ME RETIRE’
House of Pain’s classic “Jump Around” then played over the loudspeaker after the second court storm, and the place continued to go berserk.
For what it’s worth, UNC will be fined at least $50,000 for breaking ACC court-storming rules. The $50,000 fine is for a first offense, and that amount doubles after a school’s second. Technically, fans stormed the court twice.
It was UNC’s first win over Duke since March 9, 2024, after Duke swept all three games last year, including the ACC tournament. The loss was just the second of Duke’s season, while UNC improved to 19-4.
