Jake Oettinger continued his Olympic gold medal tour on Sunday with stop at the Dallas Mavericks NBA game against the Los Angeles Lakers at American Airlines Center.

The Dallas Stars goalie – who was a member of Team USA during the gold medal run at the 2026 Winter Olympics – sat courtside at the game with his wife, Kennedi.

Before the game, Oettinger got a front row seat to LeBron James’ iconic chalk warmup and posted a video on his Instagram.

Oettinger was later shown on the big screen in the arena with his gold medal.

On Friday, Oettinger took his bling to the Texas Rangers MLB game, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before the team’s home opener.
