Luka Doncic Prioritizes Fatherhood Over National Team
12 May
Summary
- Luka Doncic will miss the national team to spend time with his daughters.
- He is navigating a challenging joint custody agreement with his ex-fiancée.
- The NBA star's top priority is his two young daughters, Gabriela and Olivia.
Luka Doncic will forgo playing with the Slovenian national team this summer to dedicate his time to his daughters. This decision follows the Los Angeles Lakers' elimination from the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals on Monday. Doncic cited ongoing efforts to secure joint custody of his two young daughters as the primary reason for his absence.
In a personal announcement, Doncic stated that his daughters, three-year-old Gabriela and five-month-old Olivia, are his absolute priority. He revealed that the past eight months have made it exceptionally difficult to see them due to co-parenting challenges with his ex-fiancée, Anamaria Goltes. The couple ended their engagement in March.
The basketball star's commitment to his family comes ahead of his professional obligations. Doncic emphasized that despite the difficulties in co-parenting and managing his career, his daughters' needs will always come first.
