Nick Bosa has played his last game in 2025.

The early exit of the defensive end overshadowed the San Francisco 49ers’ win on Sunday.

His injury immediately raised concern across the locker room, with teammates and coaches acknowledging the impact of potentially losing one of the NFL’s top pass rushers.

Their concerns were correct.

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly set to be without star defensive end Nick Bosa for the rest of the season.

Bosa is believed to have suffered a torn ACL in the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals, which ends his year.

“Tests today showed that 49ers Pro Bowl DE Nick Bosa suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Sunday’s win over Arizona, sources tell ESPN. It’s a clean tear, but Bosa now will need season-ending surgery,” Adam Schefter reported.

This is the second time Nick Bosa has torn his ACL in his NFL career. He first tore it in Week 2 of 2020 vs. the Jets.

What’s Next For Nick Bosa?

The San Francisco 49ers edged out the Arizona Cardinals 16-15 in Week 3 on September 21 at Levi’s Stadium, but the victory came at a cost as Nick Bosa ultimately suffered a torn ACL.

Bosa’s setback adds to a growing list of 49ers players sidelined by injuries just three weeks into the 2025 season.

Not many players can return to form when they tear an ACL. Bosa has now done it twice in five years.

Along with bringing pressure to the quarterback, Bosa also brings leadership to the 49ers squad. He helps elevate the talent around him on defense, which would be missed if he’s gone.

Now, the 49ers and their undefeated record might take quite a hit with his departure.

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.
