What's in Luka Doncic's epic watch collection? He owns impressive Rolexes and Hublots, and has been showing his love for Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak since the trade from Dallas to LA
Luka Doncic has been dominating headlines lately … and not just for his performances on the court. The basketball world was stunned when the long-time Dallas Mavericks star – who was widely regarded as the heart of the team – was unexpectedly traded to the Los Angeles Lakers this month in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round draft pick. The move, considered one of the most shocking trades in US sports history, sent fans and analysts – and even NBA players such as Dennis Schröder – into a frenzy.

While point guard Doncic initially seemed to have been caught off guard, he's been taking the transition in his stride. Landing in Los Angeles means stepping into a city where fashion and status go hand in hand – especially in a locker room that includes some of the league's most style-conscious players, from Jarred Vanderbilt to the father-son duo of LeBron and

No doubt Doncic will get his threads up to scratch, but in the meantime the 25-year-old Slovenian can rely on his covetable watch collection as he walks the halls of the Crypto.com Arena on game day.
Here's a closer look at some of the standout pieces Doncic has been spotted wearing throughout his career.

Doncic's most recent addition appears to be an openworked, 18K yellow gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, which he wore to his first press conference for the Lakers in the wake of the shock trade. This supercharged version of the AP classic features a blackened inner bezel with applied yellow gold hour markers, with the openworked construction unveiling blackened bridges dotted with burgundy-toned gems. Subtle yet undeniably extravagant, this is a timepiece fit for a debut with a legacy team and retails for US$101,000.

Doncic appears to have a knack of picking watches that slyly nod to his team's colours: a stylish way to show his loyalty off the court. Arriving at the 2024 NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, he rocked another special edition Audemars Piguet Royal Oak – this one an 18K frosted white gold chronograph with the brand's 'Grand Tapisserie' dial in a smoked blue whimsically named 'Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50', mirroring the Dallas Mavericks' royal blue and silver motif. Another six-figure stunner, it's valued at more than US$102,000.

NBA Finals: Haliburton's heroics help Pacers steal last-second win over Thunder in Game 1
Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton sank the game-winning basket in the final second to give the Pacers a stunning 111-110 fightback victory over Oklahoma City in Friday's opening game of the NBA Finals. Haliburton, who had 14 points and 10 rebounds, gave the Pacers their only lead of the game on a dramatic 21-foot jump shot with 0.3 of a second remaining to deliver a shocker after Indiana had trailed by 15 points with 9:42 remaining. 'We got the stop and coach trusts us in those moments to not call a timeout, trusts me in those moments, guys trust me and just trying to make a play,' Haliburton said of the last shot. 'Basketball is fun, man, winning is fun,' he added in an on-court interview. 'That's a great win for us.' With a game-closing 14-2 run, the Pacers seized a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, with game two on Sunday at Oklahoma City.

Spain beat France for spot in Nations League final
Spain beat France for spot in Nations League final Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams led Spain in the nine-goal thriller. Photo: AFP Spain starlets Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams dazzled as La Roja beat France 5-4 in a thriller in Stuttgart, setting up a Nations League final with Portugal. Yamal bagged a brace while Williams scored and provided an assist as the two wingers cut France's makeshift defence to ribbons. Mikel Merino and Pedri were also on the scoresheet for the Euro 2024 champions. Kylian Mbappé netted a second-half penalty, but Spain were 5-1 up and cruising, before Les Bleus suddenly woke up as their opponents took their foot off the pedal. France's three late goals – a Rayan Cherki screamer, a Spain own goal and a stoppage time strike from Randal Kolo Muani – were not enough. Yamal, still just 17, said Spain "deserved to win." "It was a great game – at the end it was a little too close, but we played very well," he added. Spain held on to book an all-Iberian Nations League final against Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal on Sunday in Munich, while France will face hosts Germany in Stuttgart for the bronze medal, earlier in the day. "It was a crazy game. Not the best game for the coaches – nobody wants to concede so many goals – but an amazing game for the fans," a smiling goalscorer Merino told DAZN. "We're going to remember this one for a long time." Returning to Germany where they won the European Championship in dominant fashion a year ago, Spain seem a more complete team, despite their late fadeout. France coach Didier Deschamps said "it's a mixed bag." "Not everything can be thrown in the rubbish bin – but I'm not leaving with a smile," he added. France were more dangerous in the opening stages, with Didier Deschamps electing to channel his attack through Ousmane Dembele rather than Mbappé. Dembele, fresh from Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League triumph, created an early chance for Mbappé, but the Real Madrid superstar wasted it, electing to pass rather than shoot when one-on-one with the 'keeper. Minutes later, Spain escaped again as Theo Hernandez's long-range effort shaved the top of the crossbar. Spain made France pay soon after, when Williams and Oyarzabal, La Roja's two goalscorers in the Euro 2024 final, linked up with 22 minutes played. After a tear down the right, Yamal threaded it to Oyarzabal, who held off three defenders with his back to goal before finding Williams, who rifled his shot into the top of the net. Spain grabbed full hold of the match just three minutes later when Oyarzabal dinked the French defence, allowing Merino to collect and hammer past an off-balance Maignan. France had the better chances later in the half, with Dembele finding space in the box three times only to blast straight at a grateful Unai Simon. Just before half-time, the narrowest of offsides robbed Spain of what would have been an incredible third. In a clearly rehearsed free-kick play, Yamal found Martin Zubimendi behind the lines, who cut it back for Huijsen. The second-half played out line the first, with France missing two big chances before Spain again scored a quick-fire double. With 54 minutes played, Yamal won and converted a penalty, taking the ball from Williams before calmly slotting home. France were reeling but Spain's starlets had no sympathy, Williams setting up Pedri for a fourth just one minute later. Mbappé won and converted a penalty with 59 minutes played but Yamal stepped up again to snuff out French hopes of an unlikely comeback, scoring Spain's fifth with just over 20 minutes remaining. Spain made four changes a their thoughts turned to Sunday, allowing France to score two late consolation goals. Substitute Cherki scored a long-range effort and then forced Spain into conceding an own goal through Daniel Vivian. Kolo Muani's goal came in the fourth minute of stoppage time to cut the deficit to one, but France had left their comeback too late, as Spain held on. (AFP)
