Hard to find a better birthday weekend than the one Luka Doncic<\/a> had … not only did the Lakers pick up back-to-back wins against the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings — he closed out the festivities by partying with Novak Djokovic<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

Videos from the Lakers superstar’s birthday bash were shared on social media hours after the L.A. took down the Kings 128-104 Sunday, with Djokovic right by his side for his 27th birthday.<\/p>\n

The gathering featured a massive cake, some dancers, and Doncic being serenaded before blowing out the candles.<\/p>\n

Djokovic was also in attendance for the Lakers game before tagging along to Doncic’s party — posing for a photo with LeBron James<\/a> courtside at Crypto.com Arena. His attendance meant a lot to Luka, who said he considers him “the G.O.A.T.”<\/p>\n

“So just for him being here watching me, it\u2019s unbelievable,” he said after the game.<\/p>\n

The team also celebrated on Doncic’s actual birthday — getting a custom cake featuring half a Lakers jersey and half a Slovenia jersey.<\/p>\n

He’ll get Monday to kick his feet up and think about all that he’s accomplished in his 27 years on earth before getting back on the hardwood Tuesday — as L.A. welcomes the New Orleans Pelicans to town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated Mon, March 2, 2026 at 5:48 PM UTC TMZ Hard to find a better birthday weekend than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635356,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3792],"tags":[7,83074,83075,164,4056,300,185,368,6,470,13152,986,477,4055],"class_list":{"0":"post-635355","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sacramento-kings","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-birthday-bash","10":"tag-birthday-weekend","11":"tag-golden-state-warriors","12":"tag-kings","13":"tag-lakers","14":"tag-lebron-james","15":"tag-luka-doncic","16":"tag-nba","17":"tag-new-orleans-pelicans","18":"tag-novak-djokovic","19":"tag-sacramento","20":"tag-sacramento-kings","21":"tag-sacramentokings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116162071200299832","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
