Men were crashing out all over the internet following an announcement from Taylor Rooks that no one saw coming.

The reporter has plenty of male fans simply on account of her looks – Rooks’ looks are no joke – so they were naturally disappointed to learn that she had been taken off the market.

That’s right, Taylor is married. She revealed as much via Instagram on Wednesday, leaving everyone shocked as most fans assured she’d been single the whole time.

Rooks took to IG to post several photos from her wedding, which was a star-studded event, with the likes of Saquon Barkley, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Donovan Mitchell, Lala Anthony, and Michael Rubin among the many big names in attendance.

The news did not go down well with NBA Twitter.

“Nothing could have prepared me to see what Taylor Rooks posted on IG,” a fan declared.

“…..i just saw Taylor Rooks IG post,” another shared, along with a video, which was brilliantly followed up in the comments.

“I just opened up IG and saw Taylor got married. Please respect my privacy at this time,” one user lamented.

“It’s Taylor Rooks. This isn’t a joking matter. Please respect mens privacy at this time,” someone else warned.

“Taylor Rooks’ last post,” a fan added.

Someone else had a simple message for her…

This Year Is A Very Significant One For Taylor Rooks

Rooks was a national treasure, which was in part because everyone felt like they had a shot, strangely, of course.

It’s going to be a big year for the 33-year-old. Having just announced her nuptials, she’s also set to be the lead studio host for NBA coverage on Amazon Prime.

Rooks announced her departure from Turner Sports earlier this year and will join a cast of several notable names on the network, including Dwyane Wade, Candace Parker, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Dell Curry, Stan Van Gundy, and Brent Barry.

We’re not sure where to go with this, but we’re leaning toward congratulations.

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.
