Luka Dončić wears new initials on his sneakers for the Spurs rematch
The The Los Angeles Lakers are certainly getting more than they bargained for on Wednesday evening at NBA Cup action against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs, despite being without Victor Wembanyama, came out and built a double-digit lead Luka Doncic and society.
Of course, the game isn’t over until it’s over, and the Lakers have three crunch-time killers they can rely on to try and save themselves from the huge deficit they’re facing. Dončić, to say the least, renewed his inspiration especially after experiencing another milestone last week with the birth of his second child, Olivia.
The The first born of the Lakers star is named Gabrielaand he wrote her name on his shoes before every game. But now that she has two daughters, she does new tags on their trainers heading into their quarter-final match against Spurs.

There will hardly be a memorable day for anyone since the birth of their children, and Doncic must carry that dad’s energy that Fred VanVleet celebrated in 2019.
But for now, the Lakers’ goal is to bounce back against a Spurs team that is threatening to end their NBA Cup run in the quarterfinals.
Luka Doncic, Lakers struggle to keep pace with Spurs
The Spurs play with so much pace and space that it is difficult for the Lakers to keep up with them. LA has an older lineup that plays much slower and more deliberate, and San Antonio takes advantage of that speed difference.
But the Lakers have plenty of players who have been in this position before, so no one would dare count them out even though things aren’t looking very promising for them heading into the final frame of the game.
