BREAKING: Luka Doncic has just announced the birth of his second daughter, Olivia, via Instagram this morning. This joyous moment comes as Doncic has been away from the Los Angeles Lakers, returning to his hometown of Ljubljana, Slovenia, to support his fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, during the delivery.

Doncic’s absence has been felt on the court, as the Lakers went 1-1 in their last two games without him. Lakers coach JJ Redick indicated that Doncic might rejoin the team as early as this Sunday for their game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Doncic and Goltes are already parents to their two-year-old daughter, Gabriela. The 26-year-old star is currently leading the NBA in scoring this season with an impressive average of 35.3 points per game, showcasing his critical role in the Lakers’ success. The team is off to a strong start, holding a 16-6 record and sitting at No. 3 in the Western Conference standings.

As Doncic celebrates this special occasion with his family, fans eagerly await his return to the court, particularly after the Lakers’ 126-105 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday. With an off day scheduled for Saturday, all eyes will be on the team as they prepare for their upcoming game.

Stay tuned for updates as this story develops. Doncic’s remarkable performance and commitment to his family highlight what it means to balance personal achievements with professional aspirations.
