Patrick and Brittany Mahomes Witness Luka Doncic’s Dominant Performance Against Dallas Mavericks
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany enjoyed courtside seats at a high-profile NBA game Wednesday night, observing former Dallas Mavericks luminary Luka Doncic’s return to face his former team. The Mavericks traded Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a surprising move earlier this year.
Doncic Shines in Lakers’ Victory
Luka Doncic delivered an exceptional performance, amassing 45 points and leading the Lakers to a 112-97 victory over the Mavericks. Following the game, Doncic greeted Mahomes, a known Mavericks fan, with a warm embrace.
The trade of Doncic in February had visibly upset Mahomes, who expressed his dismay on social media at the time, stating, “I’m sick right now.”
Mahomes’ courtside view offered a stark reminder of what the Mavericks are currently lacking as Doncic showcased his skills against his former team.
Doncic scored 31 points in the first half alone and, alongside LeBron James, effectively secured the win for the Lakers in the final quarter.

Past NBA Games and Fan Reactions
Mahomes is a frequent attendee at Mavericks games during the NFL off-season. Last year, he brought teammate Travis Kelce to a playoff game, where Kelce received boos from the Dallas fans when shown on the jumbotron.
This Wednesday, however, the Mavericks organization honored Doncic with a tribute video on the jumbotron before the game, which visibly moved the Lakers’ star.
Despite the emotional tribute, Doncic quickly shifted his focus to the game, demonstrating a high-scoring start on what was once his home court.
Game Statistics and Playoff Implications
The Lakers ultimately defeated the Mavericks 112-97. Doncic’s 45 points marked his 46th career 40-point game, supported by James’ contribution of 27 points.
Reflecting on Doncic’s transfer during Super Bowl week, Mahomes expressed understanding, stating, “I’m happy for him that he’s going to be able to go out there and be in LA and get the chance to achieve his dream of winning a championship.”
He also acknowledged Doncic’s impact on Dallas: “He did so much, not only for the basketball team but for the city of Dallas, so I’ll always be appreciative of those years. I’m excited for the Mavericks moving forward and the guys that they brought in.”
The Lakers are currently vying for third position in the Western Conference standings with just two regular-season games remaining before the playoffs begin.
Upcoming Games and Offseason Training
Doncic and the Lakers are slated to play against the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers before entering the postseason.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are currently tenth in the Western Conference with a 38-41 record, positioning them for a potential play-in tournament to qualify for the official playoffs.
Mahomes’ NBA outing followed footage he shared earlier in the day of his return to football practice during the offseason.
The Chiefs quarterback is also evidently focused on physical conditioning, having posted several workout videos since the Super Bowl in February.
