Luka Dončić’s interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews goes viral after Lakers win

Luka Dončić produced multiple highlights in the Los Angeles Lakers’ dominant opening-night win against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.

But the clip that’s getting the most attention is Dončić’s postgame exchange with ESPN’s Malika Andrews.

This prompted one fan to produce an edited video of the two speaking together with romantic music playing in the background.

The clip has now gone viral, with the original post tallying over four million views reposted across countless other accounts.

While Dončić seems to be single after his very public breakup with ex-fiancée Anamaria Goltes earlier this year, Andrews is married to fellow ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin.

Dončić got off to a hot start Wednesday, which he’ll be keen to continue when the Lakers face the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.
