Luka Dončić filed documents with the Superior Court of Los Angeles on Friday seeking dismissal of a petition filed by his ex-fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, that pursued child support and attorney fees from Dončić, sources familiar with Dončić's situation told ESPN's Dave McMenamin. Goltes is the mother of Dončić's two daughters - 2-year-old Gabriela and 4-month-old Olivia - and lives in Slovenia with the children, but filed her petition in California earlier this month.

This comes after Dončić filed an interim injunction with the Slovenian courts last month, seeking immediate contact with Gabriela and Olivia, sources familiar with Dončić's situation told ESPN, and addressing joint custody and child support.

Zach Randolph: How was playing alongside Kobe Bryant? Lou Williams: It was cool. It was an eye-opening experience. Because he showed me that everybody don't take basketball as seriously as I thought they did. Cuz he was dead serious about hoop. Like, he was militant with his approach to basketball. Like the way that he saw the game, the way that he broke it down in the lens that he saw it from. Like he was breaking down the game in five minute increments to him like in this five minutes this what the game supposed to look like and then for the next three minutes this what it's supposed to look like. Like he was breaking the game down different and I wish I was with him at a different time in my career and a different time in his career because his body started breaking down on him. His body wasn't giving him what he what he needed.

Lou Williams: What's the difference between the Clippers and the Lakers? The Clippers is the hood. Make no mistake about it, and the Lakers is Hollywood. Make no mistake about it. We’re not confused about our identity at all. Like if you play for the Clippers, you embrace the idea of being, hey, you little brother, but you the gangster though.

There’s no clear basketball reason for LeBron James to stop. “He’s going to pass a lot of marks,” Lue said. “First of all, he’s great. One of the greatest players to ever play the game. And then two, just the longevity. The more you play, the more records you’re going to break. But for him, like I said, it’s all about his mental space, about how he wants to put work into his body, how he ate every single day, every single night. And it’s a tough regimen. It’s a tough discipline to be able to do that. To be able to eat great every single day, to be able to work out every single day, to do your correctives every single day. It’s a hard process. So for him to be able to do that, just shows you what type of player he is.”

"It's not an accident that teams like the Lakers, Clippers, Heat and Warriors all have lined up to have cap space in 2027 when Giannis can be a free agent," one NBA executive told ESPN. "A player like Giannis can tilt the balance of power in the league for years to come. "What nobody knows yet is whether they'll really trade him before he gets to free agency -- and how they're making that decision."

Disjointed or error-prone basketball could be forgiven on a night like Thursday – and Redick started with a perceived truth as he attempted to rally the troops during an early-game timeout “I know y’all are tired,” Redick said, according to guard Austin Reaves, who shared the internal dynamics of a Lakers huddle after the game Thursday night. “I’m not tired,” James fired back.

“I was like, ‘I’m not tired either,’” Reaves recalled. “Follow the leader; that goes along with the belief that we’re talking about. “It’s a beautiful thing to have (James) as one of the leaders of this team, because if there’s anybody in the world that could take games off, mentally not be there in a film session, practice, whatever it might be, it could be him, and that’s not how he’s wired. So, yeah, I think he’s insane.”

Luka Doncic is calling a technical foul on his ex-fiancée, essentially telling the court she should consult a map before filing legal docs over their 2 children ... TMZ Sports has learned. The Lakers superstar filed docs Friday asking an L.A. County judge to dismiss Anamaria Goltes' request for child support and attorneys fees, because she filed it in California ... when she knows the kids live in Slovenia.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Luka and his attorney Laura Wasser point out he is not a California resident, and neither are their daughters. He says he's been trying for months to get Anamaria to move to Cali with their kids, but she's refused, since moving back to Slovenia last May. As we reported, that distance is exactly why he says he pulled the plug on their engagement.
