    Luka Doncic announced the birth of his second daughter, Olivia, after leaving the Lakers to be in Ljubljana with fiancée Anamaria Goltes. Listed absent for “personal reasons”, he missed two games while leading the league in scoring during an MVP-calibre start to the season. With the Lakers going 1-1 in his absence, coach JJ Redick says Doncic could rejoin the team as early as Sunday in Philadelphia. Already averaging 35.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 8.9 assists, his brief family break slightly interrupts, but does not derail, Los Angeles’ strong 16-6 start.

    James Harden is on the brink of entering the NBA’s all-time top-10 scoring list and calls the achievement “like a dream come true”, recounting his journey from Oklahoma City sixth man to offensive centrepiece whose step-back three and foul-drawing mastery defined a modern scoring era. Harden credits his Houston years under Mike D’Antoni’s free-flowing system for unlocking his peak, while admitting he might have a ring had he stayed in OKC. He says limited athleticism forced him to perfect skill-based scoring, and at 36 he still believes he can climb higher on the list.
