The NBA athlete took to his Instagram to announce the arrival of the latest member of his family: a baby girl named Olivia. She was dressed in a pink top and rose-printed pants. TMZ has reported that the news comes after the athlete sat out 2 of the last games with the Lakers.

Luka Doncic welcomed his first daughter with fiancée Anamaria Goltes in December 2023. However, at the time, he marked the occasion with a photo of his newborn, announcing that her name is Gabriela. Per the outlet, he missed his first game of the season with the Dallas Mavericks at the time.

People Magazine has reported that the perennial NBA All-Star was in Slovenia for the birth of his daughter, having missed the team game against the Toronto Raptors due to "personal reasons," the official reason stated. The Lakers eventually beat the Raptors, 123-120.

As for Luka Doncic's game with his team, he is reportedly averaging 35.3 points per game this season, as well as triple-doubles or near-triple-doubles every night. He also boasts 8.9 assists and 8.9 rebounds a game. He is reportedly expected to miss the Friday game against the Celtics, and coach JJ Redick has yet to make clear just when he will be making a comeback.

“JJ Redick says Luka Doncic will be back with the Lakers “soon” and did not rule out him playing in Philadelphia on Sunday, calling it a ‘possibility.’” Via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

In his personal life, per TMZ, Luka Doncic and his soon-to-be bride met as kids in Croatia. They began dating in 2016, and the former proposed to his then-girlfriend in July 2023. They welcomed their first daughter shortly after.

Total Pro Sports has reported that the Lakers is next scheduled to play against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center. The former currently boasts the third spot in the Western Conference standings, clocking in a record of 16 wins and six losses.

People Magazine has reported that the team has been thriving due to breakout performances from the likes of Reaves, Rui Hachimura, a forward, and center Deandre Ayton, whom they obtained in the offseason.

Back in August, Doncic spoke to the outlet about his new life in LA following last year’s blockbuster trade. At the time, he praised the weather and being near the ocean, though he held fatherhood in the highest regard.

“I mean, it's the greatest thing in the world,” he said.
