ESPN’s Malika Andrews made some waves on Instagram Monday.

Andrews, 30, has been at the Worldwide Leader since 2018. She began her career as a reporter covering the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks before moving on to cover the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. Later, Andrews became the network’s sideline reporter for NBA Finals coverage and also had the distinction of being the first woman to host the NBA Draft in 2022.

Now the host of NBA Today, you can usually see Andrews on television. However, she also shares content on social media, including a home photoshoot today.

Andrews got into the holiday spirit for St. Patrick’s Day, rocking a green dress with black shoes.

“Ran out of time at the studio to grab a shot of this look I loved! So, impromptu home photoshoot it is🍀💚,” Andrews captioned the post.

“You slay every day! 💚,” one person wrote.

“L

ove the new glasses,” another added.

“Happy St. Paddy’s day indeed!!” chimed in Andrews’ sister Kendra.

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world🌟💋🙌🔥😈❤️,” a fourth person wrote.

“Spectacular ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” a fifth person said.

Last summer, Andrews wed her longtime boyfriend, fellow ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin.

On a recent episode of WNBA star Cameron Brink’s podcast, Andrews revealed that she and McMenamin have been together since 2018 but chose to keep much of their relationship out of the public eye.

“Anyone who knows us, we’ve known each other socially. It wasn’t a secret. I always like to sort of delineate between private and secret. We are private,” Andrews explained. “Anybody who knew us, even a fan in the arena, you could see us walking down the street together, we would walk into arenas together. So if you observed us in person you would know, but it wasn’t something that was a secret. It was private [as in] we didn’t post it on social media. That was sort of the line that we made. I wore my big sparkly ring… and it was just not something that it was like, ‘here are my proposal photos,’ not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

On the work front, Andrews’ contract at ESPN expires after the NBA season, so it will be interesting to see if the company looks to keep her around.

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.
