Luka Doncic freezes up during postgame interview with Malika Andrews and fans wonder about a romance
Doncic got his season started in a big way, with a 28/8/7 performance in a win over the Golden State Warriors.
On the second night of this season's NBA action, all eyes were on the post- LeBron James Los Angeles Lakers . With The King out of the picture, it was expected that Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves would carry the offensive load, with new acquisition Walker Kessler playing a major role.
That's exactly what transpired against the Golden State Warriors , as all three players scored 23+ points and were the main contributors in the Lakers' 127-105 win over the Warriors. Doncic, of course, is truly the main guy. He led the team in scoring while pitching in with eight rebounds and seven assists . As the face of the franchise, he was the designated player to speak during the postgame interview.
Luka Doncic remains the No. 1 guy for the Los Angeles Lakers following LeBron James' departure
That interview ended up going viral on social media, thanks to ESPN's Malika Andrews . The famous NBA journalist has garnered a strong following in the basketball community due to her in-depth knowledge of the sport combined with her good looks and humor . While interviewing Doncic, fans noticed the player looked a little bit flustered by Andrews' presence .
Some fans believe Doncic got "stuck" and froze up while being interviewed. They're trying to cook up a romance for the newly single Doncic, who ended his engagement to Anamaria Goltes in March of this year. There's only one problem with the fans' theory: Andrews is married to Dave McMenamin , a top-notch NBA reporter for ESPN who has covered the Lakers for many years.
Doncic will have to look elsewhere for a new romance, but ending his engagement earlier this year hasn't seemed to affect his on-court performance in any way - which is great news for the Lakers.
