Sometimes, women don’t get it.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers found that out after his girl Audreyana Michelle let him have it when he decided to go practice on his day off instead of spending it with her.
We see where she’s coming from too. The NBA season is hectic and, if you play for a top team, you don’t even get to spend Christmas with your family. The grind doesn’t stop until the end of the offseason and, even then, there’s still a whole lot going on.
Being the girl of an NBA player has its perks, but it also requires a whole lot of sacrifice.
Rivers posted a video of his woman flipping when she found out he was hitting the court instead of spending time with her on a rare free day after returning from a long road trip.
We get him too. Austin Rivers is not LeBron James or Kevin Durant, he’s not guaranteed a contract every season.
While he’s the son of an NBA coach, the guy has been on seven NBA teams since getting drafted in 2012. His livelihood depends on him staying sharp and hungry.

The USA Team selected all the star players for the Paris Olympics, which ultimately made it difficult for them to prepare the roster. As there are only five spots for the starting lineup, upsetting the basketball community by not including the ones they were expecting is quite natural. When the roster for the pre-Olympics exhibition game was disclosed, the fans were stunned to not find Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum’s names on it.
The head coach Steve Kerr selected Steph Curry, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, LeBron James and Joel Embiid as the starters for the game against Canada at the T-Mobile Arena. While Durant and an excited Tatum remained on the bench on Wednesday night.
By leaving the two outstanding scorers out for the game, the USAB Team’s organization amazed the basketball lovers. The fans gathered on social media X (FKA Twitter) to express their disappointment about not seeing Durant and Tatum in the first game.
An astonished fan wrote, “Holiday over Tatum” with an emoji to show his emotion.
While another mockingly added, “Tatum getting his chain snatched by another teammate”.
