Golden State Warriors fans directed "Luka Sucks" chants at Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic during the teams' matchup at Chase Center on October 30, 2026. The chants, intended to rattle the Slovenian guard, reportedly backfired as Doncic performed strongly against a Warriors defense led by Stephen Curry.
The game featured a notable defensive assignment with Curry guarding Doncic for stretches in the first half. While the exact outcome of the game was not detailed in initial reports, the headline from Yahoo Sports indicated the fan tactic had the opposite of its intended effect.
Doncic, wearing number 77 for the Lakers, has been a frequent target of opposing crowds since his high-profile trade to Los Angeles. The Warriors' home crowd attempted to disrupt his rhythm, but the strategy appeared to motivate the All-Star guard instead.
