Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t achieve a historic three-peat, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Despite this setback, Mahomes remains engaged with the NBA, particularly following the Boston Celtics as they battled the New York Knicks. In a critical Game 4, the Celtics faced challenges when Jayson Tatum sustained a potential Achilles injury, raising concerns about his availability for the playoffs and beyond. Mahomes expressed support for Tatum on social media.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks, Mahomes' favorite NBA team, faced a tumultuous end to their season after trading Luka Doncic and losing key players to injuries. Nevertheless, the Mavericks struck gold in the 2025 NBA Draft lottery, securing the first overall pick, which they may use to draft standout Cooper Flagg from Duke.
