PATRICK Mahomes was left “sick” by the Luka Doncic trade.
The American, 29, is set to compete at Super Bowl 59 this weekend, with the Kansas City Chiefs aiming for a historic three-peat.
A week out from the New Orleans showpiece, Mahomes was left reeling by Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks departure.
The star quarterback is a Texas native and supports the Mavericks.
So he was left as stunned as the rest of the NBA world when Mavs general manager Nico Harrison decided to deal Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Mavericks sent their perennial first team All-NBA star to LA alongside Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first round pick.
Upon seeing the news, Mahomes wrote on X, “Wait what?”
Six minutes later, he added, “I’m sick rn….”
The following morning, Mahomes saw the positive side of teaming Kyrie Irving up with Davis.
He added, “Kyrie and AD going to be nice tho!”
Following the trade, Doncic released an emotional statement to the Dallas fanbase.
“Seven years ago, I came here as a teenager to pursue my dream of playing basketball at the highest level,” it began.
“I thought I’d spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship.
“The love and support you all have given me is more than I could have ever dreamed of.
“For a young kid from Slovenia coming to the U.S. for the first time, you made North Texas feel like home.
“In good times and bad, from injuries to the NBA Finals, your support never changed.
“Thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best moments, but also for lifting me up when I needed it most.
To all the organizations I’ve worked with throughout the Dallas community, thank you for letting me contribute to your important work and join you in bringing light to those who need it.
“As I start the next part of my basketball journey, I am leaving a city that will always feel like a home away from home.”
Doncic then left a message for his new Laker fans.
“Grateful for this amazing opportunity,” he said.
“Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy, passion and goal – to win championships.”
