In a post on his Instagram stories, Doncic shared the video of Brandon Aubrey hitting a 64-yard field goal to send the game against the New York Giants to overtime. Aubrey saved the Cowboys from an embarrassing loss after their defense allowed a touchdown with 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Luckily for the Cowboys, they pulled off the win in overtime, with Aubrey as the hero again. The placekicker came up clutch again by hitting a 46-yard field goal at the end of overtime to give Dallas the 40-37 win. It was also the Cowboys' first victory of the season.

Despite growing up in Europe, Luka Doncic eventually developed a fondness for American football and began supporting the Dallas Cowboys. He attended multiple games over the years and still has love for the city. He spent six and a half seasons in Dallas before his shocking trade to the LA Lakers on Feb. 2.


No one from the Mavs informed Luka Doncic that he was traded

The Dallas Mavericks took a hit from almost everyone after they traded Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers. General manager Nico Harrison became enemy number one, and a recent report by the Dallas Hoops Journal made a startling revelation. No one from the Mavs front office dared to inform Doncic that he is traded.

"The Dallas Mavericks didn’t tell Luka Doncic, she did," Tom Friend wrote. "Somebody had to call him, middle of the night or not, and it was Lara Beth Seager, Doncic's chief brand officer, business manager, big sister and shoulder to lean on, who let him know he was traded to the Lakers late, late on a February Saturday night.

"He thought it was a joke until it wasn't, which is when he threw and shattered his iPhone."

Doncic has since settled in Los Angeles, signing a three-year, $165 million extension with the Lakers this offseason. He also looked in great shape for Slovenia at the 2025 EuroBasket.
