“Call it great luck (or a blessing) that we drafted Luka and JB three months after I joined the team in 2018,” she wrote on her Instagram story. “I was delighted to see him on Christmas Day 2024, my last game as the CEO. I will always appreciate that he was loyal, unfazed, kind and authentic…I love our fans. I love our team. I love Luka.”
She also posted photos of herself with Doncic, including when he was named Rookie of the Year in 2019.
She was replaced by Rick Welts, who previously served as President and COO of Golden State Warriors, President of the NBA’s Pheonix Suns and the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.
