Today, Megan was spotted in the crowd for the preseason matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. While the couple has been spotted at numerous events, this marks the first time Megan has been in the audience for one of Thompson’s professional games, showing her support in a new arena.

The preseason matchup itself is a lively backdrop. Both rosters boast star power, with Anthony Davis and rookie sensation Cooper Flagg both active for Dallas. On the other side, unfortunately, the Lakers are missing both of their superstars: LeBron James is out with sciatica, and Luka Doncic is resting on the latter of two back-to-backs.
