[Saba Sports News] Luka Doncic will not be participating in the Dallas Mavericks’ game on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies, and the reason is a joyful personal milestone.
The Mavericks have announced that Doncic’s absence from the game is due to a personal matter. This marks his first missed game of the season, having previously played in all 17 of Dallas’s games.

Doncic himself shared on his Instagram page the delightful news behind his absence: the birth
of his first child. He and his fiancée Anamaria Goltes have welcomed a daughter named Gabriela. The 24-year-old Doncic got engaged to Goltes this past summer.
The couple has a long history together, having met at the age of 12 and starting their relationship in 2016.
The Mavericks are set to play their next game on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, followed by a few days off before their December 6 matchup against Utah. While Doncic’s schedule with the Mavericks continues, he now has the added joy of being a new father in his life.
