The entire sports world was in mourning on Sunday after what happened with Cam Skattebo. One of the more exciting rookies in the league won’t play another game in 2025 after he suffered a gruesome-looking ankle injury in the second quarter of the Giants’ loss to the Eagles.

The rookie running back, who tried to have a teammate help him to his feet after the injury, had to be carted off the field in an air cast because of the injury and was quickly ruled out for the game.

This is one of those injuries where an MRI is unnecessary to tell you he is finished for the year. Skattebo needs surgery to fix the ankle dislocation he suffered.

Cam’s chemistry with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will be missed the most. Both players gave the New York Giants fan base something to cheer and look forward to.

The 23-year-old might be down, but he is certainly not out.

After the game, Cam Skattebo took to his Instagram story to show his teammates some love, saying, “My guys love tall boys,” followed by a heart emoji.

How Long Will Cam Skattebo Be Out?

Cam Skattebo’s breakout rookie campaign appears to be over after he suffered a significant ankle injury and left the field on a cart Sunday during the Giants’ 38-20 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Skattebo has been a breath of fresh air for the Giants since they selected him in the fourth round of April’s NFL Draft out of Arizona State. He immediately impacted New York’s offense and electrified the Giants’ fan base with his explosive style.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Skattebo is expected to miss the rest of the season as he recovers from surgery to repair his dislocated ankle.

The only silver lining here is that Skattebo should be able to return to the field for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season.

Skattebo, a fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, will have his rookie season end with 101 rushes for 410 yards with five touchdowns.

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.
