The San Francisco 49ers have received the worst possible update on All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, who left Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with what initially appeared to be a serious leg injury.

Fred Warner had to be carted off during the first quarter after attempting to tackle Buccaneers running back Rachaad White. After falling 30-19 to the surging Bucs, the 49ers received another brutal injury update.

Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, head coach Kyle Shanahan suffered a broken and dislocated ankle and will likely miss the rest of the season.

The 49ers have been hit hard by the injury bug this year, with Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle (sidelined since Week 1), star wideout Brandon Aiyuk (no timeline on his season debut), quarterback Brock Purdy (four games missed thus far), and WRs Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings all missing significant time.

The San Francisco defense had no answers for Tampa Bay after Warner’s injury, even though the Bucs were without Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving. Rookie widoue Emeka Egbuka also left the game with a hamstring injury and did not return.

San Francisco will host the Atlanta Falcons on “Sunday Night Football” next week.

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.
