Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was more than just another NBA game. It definitely was an emotional homecoming. For seven years, he lit up the arena in a Mavs jersey, and even though he came back this time wearing purple and gold, the place was packed with fans eager to catch one more glimpse of their former star. It was nostalgic, it was bittersweet-and yes, it had just the right amount of drama.
Among the crowd soaking it all in was none other than Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes. The Chiefs QB has never been shy about his support to Luka, and even with Doncic now repping the Lakers, Patrick was clearly still riding that fanboy wave. But here’s where things get spicy-Brittany may not be loving this bromance quite as much.
Brittany’s side-eye says it all
Brittany, born and bred in Texas just like Patrick, was caught giving the side-eye of the night-one that said what half the fans in Dallas were already thinking. For some this game felt like a gut punch. Luka’s return stirred up all the feels, and let’s just say it hit harder than a Mavericks playoff exit. It was a little bitter, a little awkward, and totally relatable to every fan who’s ever watched their favorite player switch teams.
Sure, sports stars are supposed to play nice in public, but fans aren’t so quick to forgive-or forget. Luka leaving Dallas for one of the NBA’s most polarizing teams stung deeply. Brittany might’ve been the one caught reacting, but honestly, she was just channeling the whole city’s vibe.
A hug that hurt
At the final buzzer, Patrick and Luka shared that hug. The one that set social media on fire and reminded everyone just how raw the wounds still are. Back when Luka was traded in February, Mahomes didn’t hold back, tweeting, “I’m sick right now.” And seeing them reunite on the court just reopened that emotional file for a lot of fans.
For the Mahomes fam, the night was less about a Lakers win and more about the heartbreak that still lingers in Dallas. That friendly postgame hug didn’t sit right with Brittany-or with plenty of fans in the stands who still wish the trade had never happened. Because sometimes, even a simple embrace can bring back all the feelings.
