Lakers Star Doncic Absent Amidst Baby News

Luka Doncic will be absent from the LA Lakers' upcoming two games, with the team citing "personal reasons." This development has ignited fervent speculation among fans regarding the potential arrival of his second child with fiancee Anamaria Goltes. Social media is abuzz with fan reactions, ranging from supportive birthday messages to humorous jabs referencing his on-court rivalries.

This speculation gained traction after Goltes posted a question on Instagram seeking advice on tandem nursing a toddler and a newborn, strongly suggesting a new baby is imminent. Doncic and Goltes welcomed their first daughter, Gabriela, in 2023. His recent birthday message to Gabriela, mentioning not being able to see her soon, further implies she is not currently with him in Los Angeles.

Despite these personal circumstances, Doncic has been delivering an MVP-caliber performance this season, averaging an impressive 35.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game. His stellar play has been instrumental in the Lakers' strong start, securing the second seed in the Western Conference. While his return date remains unconfirmed, his elite performance is expected to resume seamlessly.
