The Lakers-Raptors clash this Sunday delivered more than just a convincing W because, unlike previous times, Luka Doncic threw his fiery rant at his teammate.
A viral bench clip caught Doncic going full savage on Austin Reaves during a fourth-quarter timeout. Since the sound was not clear like the video itself, social media lip readers took the responsibility to decode their moment, and surprisingly, Docic was not giving flowers to Reaves.
Luka Doncic Goes Nuclear on Austin Reaves
The clip came from the fourth quarter with 3:34 left and the Lakers leading 105–89. Raptors looked essentially cooked by then, having 16 fewer points and out of time to make a comeback. In that moment, it was really surprising to see Doncic find time to roast his backcourt partner on the bench.
Reaves was not part of the starting lineup but did play minutes as a reserve guard. Sources close to the team suggest Reaves was dealing with minor soreness. It was nothing serious, but enough to keep him seated during the final stretch.
But Luka, especially being the Lakers’ evolved Luka, couldn’t resist dropping the savage F-bomb. Per lip-reading specialist @Quote_Forum, Doncic allegedly told Reaves, “F— up, p—y. You hurt anyway, sit down, white boy.”
“F*ck up pu**y. You hurt anyway, sit down white boy.”

The Slovenian superstar gestured emphatically while AR-15 sat nearby, reportedly nursing minor discomfort during the 110-93 victory.
However, there is nothing to worry about locker room tension because Reaves and Doncic’s bromance thrives on verbal warfare. But quite frankly, that F-bomb was genuinely unexpected.
Back in October 2025, a Lakers player screamed “we got the coldest white boys in the league” after Reaves hit a buzzer-beater against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Doncic and Reeves both heard it, and since then, Doncic has been using it as their running bromance joke.
The irony? Doncic once praised Austin as one of the coldest American guards. Now he’s flipping the script, using it as ammunition when AR can’t clap back.
That’s the evolution that happened with Doncic after joining the Lakers, because whenever he performs, serious flowers rain from his mouth. That’s exactly what happened when he dropped a cool 25 points and seven assists in victory over the Raptors.
