NBA icon Michael Jordan got some disturbing news this week while yachting with his wife, Yvette Prieto, in Greece.

The six-time NBA champion is vacationing with his family and probably isn’t all that keen on discussing business.

Even so, he suffered a significant blow on Thursday as his 23XI Racing NASCAR team took a notable L in an ongoing lawsuit with the stock car racing league that could cost him a lot of money.

According to the Daily Mail, a federal judge rejected a request from the team and Front Row Motorsports to continue racing with charters while they fight NASCAR in court.

The abovementioned decision means the teams’ six cars will race as open entries at Dover this weekend and in Indianapolis next week. It could also carry over to other events and leave them at risk of going out of business.

Open entries are teams without charters that aren’t guaranteed starting spots and don’t receive the same amount of money as those with charters.

“We are disappointed that the court declined to grant 23XI and Front Row Motorsports a temporary restraining order to allow the teams to continue racing as chartered teams,” the teams’ lawyer Jeffrey Kessler said in a statement.

“We remain confident that our motion for a preliminary injunction is legally warranted and necessary, and we look forward to the court´s full review.”

Judge Kenneth Bell denied the request for a temporary stay, declaring that the outfits will still make the races over the next few weeks and aren’t at risk of losing drivers or sponsors before he rules on a preliminary injunction.

Michael Jordan was seen walking along Mykonos puffing on a cigar after getting off a motorboat. It wasn’t clear whether he had already become aware of the above at the time.

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.
