Luka Doncic will make his much-awaited return to the American Airlines Center on Wednesday for the first time since the Dallas Mavericks shockingly decided to trade him to the Los Angeles Lakers in February.
That shocking trade led to his first return to the team that traded for him on draft night.
Doncic has faced his former team once since the trade, but that was back in Los Angeles. In that game, he recorded a triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists in the Lakers’ 107-99 win over the Mavericks.
Back in Los Angeles, Doncic’s mom, Mirjam Poterbin, made sure she was in the crowd to support him during that emotional game.
She was certainly going to be in the house as he made his return to Dallas.
Just before Luka Doncic took the court, his mom was out on the court taking video of the Mavs flooding the arena with shirts on the seats to pay homage to Doncic’s time on the team. The shirts say “Thanks for everything” in Slovenian.
Her post on her Instagram story got fans looking at her profile and reacting to her rocking his number 77 Lakers jersey just a few days ago.
Here is how some reacted:
“The most beautiful 😍,” one fan said.
“I’m sorry, but whaaaaaaaaa 🥵,” a second fan stated.
“Cutie,” a second fan stated of Luka Doncic’s mom.
“❤️❤️❤️,” a final person commented.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
