Kim Kardashian had raised eyebrows when she apparently showed interest in Luka Doncic. Freshly traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025, the 26-year-old NBA star appeared to have received a message from her. The businesswoman went viral for allegedly commenting under Doncic’s Instagram post. But, well, now, everything seems like a myth after Kardashian explained that this ordeal made her stop attending Purple and Gold games altogether.

Recently, Kardashian appeared on her sister’s talk show, Khloe in Wonder Land. Here, she addressed the Doncic dating rumors for the first time, calling the entire story AI-generated and didn’t hesitate to brand it “insane.”

“There is a basketball player that I think got traded to the Lakers, Luka,” Kardashian said. “There was a fake tweet or comment on Instagram. I don’t know where it came from, but it was like, ‘Hi, you’re coming to LA.’ I want to learn Slovakian or whatever language. Who knows? And then there was either, I don’t know if he really thought it was me. And then he replied.”

Khloe gasped a big NO when her sister mentioned Doncic.

“Or if it was a fake reply,” Kardashian continued. “I don’t know at this point. But mine was so fake. And it looks like I’m hitting on this guy. I haven’t gone to a Laker game since.”

Well, the TV personality had sent the internet into a spiral after her alleged comment surfaced on an LA basketball page.

“I want to learn how to speak Slovenian,” it read, paired with a playful emoji.

Soon after, Doncic ‘responded’ with a sharp, “No, please don’t.”

The comment disappeared almost instantly. But theories took over timelines, and fans leaned into the chaos with full curiosity.

What had elevated these rumors was when Anamaria Goltes, Doncic’s fiancée, shared a reflective Instagram post around the same time the AI-generated chats dropped. She posted a collection of pictures from 2016 to 2020. The carousel included everything but the Lakers star. The caption did not ease the speculation either.

“Plenty of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t change a single moment,” Goltes wrote.

However, Kardashian clarifying that her comment on Doncic’s post wasn’t real clarifies a lot of things.

Meanwhile, disclosure also surfaced about a fabricated image pairing Kevin Durant and Kardashian, supposedly “dating.” The 45-year-old reimposed, saying that these rumors are “absolutely just not true.”

Such incidents have often left her wondering, “Who comes up with these fake quotes? How do you stop them?”

While the rumors finally get the AI stamp, the NBA continues in full bloom. Halfway through the season, the Lakers are sitting 5th in the Western Conference. And yes, Doncic has played a crucial role in the team’s development this season. However, his partner-in-crime on the court has been the action for over a month now. But, guess, it’s time for him to return.

Luka Doncic is waiting for Austin Reaves

The Purple and Gold have missed Austin Reaves since the holiday slate began. His night ended early during the 119-96 setback against the Houston Rockets on December 25 after lower leg tightness forced a halftime shutdown. Follow-up scans later confirmed a Grade 2 left calf strain. Therefore, fans now circle around the same question: when will Reaves finally return to action?

Relief is near. Signs now point toward a comeback during the ongoing eight-game road trip. Moreover, when the topic came up, Luka Doncic openly expressed his excitement about Reaves returning, as Spectrum SportsNet noted.

“On court, he’s an amazing player; he helps us in so many ways,” Doncic said. “Playing with him it’s fun, it’s very fun. And off the court, he made the trip. He’s finally on the trip, so we’ll have some good times.”

Doncic is free from all the alleged dating rumors that filled the internet last year. Kardashian’s clarification, or rather concern about AI, also raises questions about the misuse of technology. It was a concern that Khloe faced when pictures of her and French basketball phenom Victor Wembanyama went viral.

Meanwhile, the NBA’s action continues, with Reaves preparing to return after weeks of rest and recovery.
