Sabrina, hurtling toward the earth in the Schmittenhöhe mountain region in northern Austria, thinks quickly ... removing the emergency parachute in her bag and throwing it into the air to slow her descent.

The golfer's private jet left Florida Saturday night and landed in the European country Sunday.

TMZ Sports chopped it up with Boogie at LAX on Thursday ... but the former NBA All-Star started with a disclaimer.

"First, I'm going to say it's probably easier said than done. He's one of one. This is something new to the game in general," Cousins said of "the Alien," and the unique challenges he presents to opposing teams.

"I think your best chance is trying to make the game physical for him, make it really uncomfortable. And, you know, that's limited in today's game. But, you know, as far as whatever's allowed, you try to be as physical as possible."

Kyle Busch's team has to push on without him ... but, there's certainly an air of grief around the team -- just watch them unload his car two days after his tragic death.

The Richard Childress Racing team took Busch's car out of the truck Saturday in North Carolina while numerous reporters and other onlookers watched ... and the silence was deafening -- with the only sounds coming from the car's wheels as the team eased it out.

3:13 PM PT -- Abdul Carter says he and Jaxson Dart talked on the phone, man to man ... and, they're all good.

He's telling folks online to keep their "narratives."

Abdul Carter -- a New York Giants linebacker -- reposted a clip of Dart introducing the President Friday ... voicing his displeasure that his quarterback would stump for the prez.

The flags were set to half-staff at sunrise Saturday and will remain that way until the sun sets on Sunday.

We're told the power couple was having a blast -- smiling, laughing and talking the night away. Our source did not see any PDA ... but said Taylor and Travis looked sweet and are definitely in love!

Fresh off his arrest for battery in Florida ... WWE's Ludwig Kaiser was back in the wrestling world, but in a totally different role in Mexico and the crowd there just loved it!

Kaiser (real name: Marcel Barthel) turned into his alter ego -- the mask-wearing El Grande Americano -- for the cheering crowd Friday night at his very own "Serenade for El Grande Americano" rally in Mexico City.

The caller also confirmed the patient was still conscious at the time ... repeatedly telling dispatch, “He is awake. He's awake. He's awake.”

It sure sounds like Austin Reaves wants to be a Los Angeles Laker next season ... but not only that -- he tells TMZ Sports he'd love to "run it back" with LeBron James, too!!

We caught up with the upcoming free agent after the Purple and Gold's playoff exit ... and asked how he'd feel about getting the King to stay in L.A.

Of course, Reaves would have to put pen to paper himself before he thinks ahead to the 2026-27 roster ... but Lakers Nation has gotta be wondering how they could've done this postseason if everyone was healthy.
