Hailey Van Lith posing in glasses

Hailey Van Lith did not get the time she wanted on the court in her rookie season, but she still made waves in other ways.

Van Lith, who recently changed her hair color to red, was drafted 11th overall by the Chicago Sky in the 2025 draft and played in just 29 games during the past season.

She spent more time on the bench than on the court.

Off the court, the rookie has garnered way more attention. This week, Van Lith took to her Instagram and had fans going crazy when she posted herself in her newest outfit.

Hailey Van Lith showed behind-the-scenes pictures of herself in a robe as her makeup was being applied. She also posted her outfit, which featured a long-sleeved sweater and blue jeans. She added some glasses to complete the look.

“Being more than doing,” she wrote on Instagram.

“Hot mammaa😍😍😍😍, one fan said in her comment section.

“Most beautiful!!” a second fan responded.

“One on one right now… for your heart. 😏,” a third mae admirer said to Hailey Van Lith.

“Are you today’s date because you’re a 10/10😭😭,” a fourth person added.

“Supermodel 🔥🔥,” one final fan wrote.

Van Lith is used to making fans go nuts, as she did last month when she debuted her schoolgirl outfit and knee-high socks.

The Sky gave up a first-round pick in 2026 to draft Van Lith, a sign of their belief she could shape their future. She dealt with a nagging injury that really affected her first year in the WNBA.

Van Lith missed the Sky’s last seven games due to persistent ankle issues, which culminated in her announcement this week.

Hailey Van Lith announced after the season that she had an operation done on her ankle.

In her rookie campaign, she put up 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in her rookie season.

Hopefully, her second year has more highlights than her first. At least she can walk away knowing she gave it her all and was still popular enough to appear in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
