Travis Hunter’s rookie season is over.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ first-year superstar is set to miss the rest of the 2025 NFL campaign due to a knee injury, which has forced him to go under the knife.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the cornerback/wide receiver underwent LCL surgery and will be unable to participate in any football activities over the next six months.

“Sources: #Jaguars star CB/WR Travis Hunter underwent season-ending knee surgery, with eyes set on 2026. It was an LCL repair,” Rapoport reported.

“He’s expected to return within 6 months to full football activities.”

Hunter sustained the injury during practice ahead of Week 9, tearing his LCL without any contact.

The former Jackson State and Colorado star had emerged as a two-way threat in the NFL after dominating on both sides of the ball in college. He scored his first touchdown of the season against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7.

Today’s development will come as a massive blow to the Jaguars, who will miss his versatility, while his absence will also affect their depth in two positions.

Voted the 2025 Heisman in 2024, Hunter was the second-overall pick behind Cam Ward, whom the Tennessee Titans selected. He helped Colorado and head coach Deion Sanders to a 9-4 record in his second season with the program, declaring for the draft after an incredible year on a personal front.

Hunter also hit some significant milestones off the field in 2025, getting married and becoming a father following the draft. He was also seen getting baptized earlier this season.

The 22-year-old was expected to be a key piece in the Jaguars’ rebuild, given his unique ability on both offense and defense. However, his professional career has been put on hold due to this unfortunate setback.

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.
