The internet could be a dangerous place.

A wild rumor regarding Bo Nix’s injury has gone into circulation on social media.

The Denver Broncos quarterback is done for the playoffs after sustaining a fractured ankle during Saturday’s Divisional Round win vs. the Buffalo Bills.

Nix did not appear to be hurt, so it came as a total surprise when Sean Payton revealed he was set for surgery.

Payton said that Nix suffered the injury on the second-to-last play in overtime, and some people aren’t buying it. Even Peyton Manning thought it was a hoax.

Viral Rumor Shades Bo Nix’s Agent

One rumor has popped up on social media claiming that Nix’s agent advised him to fake the injury.

“Rumor has it #Broncos QB Bo Nix’s agent advised him to fake his ankle injury to avoid another “playoff disaster” and keep him under contract for a third consecutive season,” it reads.

Of course, it’s not true. It also doesn’t appear that anyone finds it funny.

“Yes, he really had a “playoff disaster” yesterday. Almost 300 yards and 3 touchdowns. It was awful,” a fan wrote in the comments. “This may be the dumbest post on social media today and that is not an easy accomplishment.”

“You are a ret**d,” another stated.

Some parody posts just don’t hit like they’re expected to.

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.
