_Luka Doncic Sends Two-Word Message to Lakers Teammate After Mistake in Clippers Game_
Los Angeles, CA – In a moment that showcased the camaraderie and accountability that exists within the Los Angeles Lakers locker room, Luka Doncic sent a two-word message to a teammate after a mistake in the team’s recent game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Lakers, who were looking to bounce back from a tough loss to the Denver Nuggets, were locked in a tight battle with their crosstown rivals. However, with just over two minutes remaining in the game, Lakers guard Austin Reaves committed a costly turnover that led to a Clippers fast break and an easy layup.
Doncic, who was sitting on the bench at the time, immediately turned to Reaves and sent him a simple yet effective message: “My bad.”
The message, which was caught on camera, was a clear indication that Doncic was taking ownership of the mistake and was willing to accept responsibility for his teammate’s error.
“It was just a mistake,” Doncic said after the game. “We all make mistakes. But I wanted to let Austin know that I had his back and that we were all in this together.”
Reaves, who has been one of the Lakers’ most consistent players this season, appreciated the gesture and acknowledged that it was a moment that showcased the team’s chemistry and camaraderie.
“It means a lot to me,” Reaves said. “Luka is a leader on this team, and for him to take ownership of a mistake like that and to have my back, it means everything. We’re all in this together, and we’re all trying to win a championship.”
The Lakers ultimately went on to lose the game to the Clippers, but the moment between Doncic and Reaves was a clear indication that the team is building something special.
“Luka is a special player,” said Lakers coach Darvin Ham. “He’s got a great heart and a great mind for the game. And Austin is a great teammate. He’s always willing to listen and learn, and he’s always trying to get better.”
The Lakers will look to bounce back from their loss to the Clippers when they take on the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. With Doncic and Reaves leading the way, the team is confident that they can get back on track and make a push for the playoffs.
“We’re all in this together,” Doncic said. “We’re all trying to win a championship. And we’re all going to do whatever it takes to make that happen.”
As for Reaves, he’s just grateful to have a teammate like Doncic who has his back.
“It’s a great feeling to know that I’ve got a teammate like Luka who is always looking out for me,” Reaves said. “We’re all in this together, and we’re all going to do whatever it takes to win a championship.”
