Dallas Mavericks’ star Luka Doncic revealed in a recent interview that his fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, isn’t a fan of basketball. Doncic, who often faces intense pressure as an NBA player, spoke about how Anamaria’s support has been crucial in helping him cope with the challenges of being a star athlete.

“It’s a lot of pressure outside. When I get home, it’s no basketball talk. She don’t like basketball. But she goes to every game. I mean, she likes it now but she didn’t like it, which is good for me. I really like that.”

Doncic expressed his appreciation for the fact that Anamaria’s interests extend beyond basketball, allowing him to have a balanced and supportive personal life. The couple recently welcomed their daughter, Gabriela, on December 1, 2023, and Doncic has been delivering standout performances on the court since becoming a father.

Luka Doncic shared that they met in Croatia at the age of 11 and, looking back on their journey, emphasized the significant role Anamaria plays in his life. Despite not having an affinity for basketball, Anamaria attends every game to support her husband. Doncic highlighted the importance of having a ‘no basketball talk’ rule at home, providing a sanctuary where he can disconnect from the pressures of the game.

While Doncic continues to shine in the NBA, his ability to compartmentalize and maintain a healthy work-life balance with Anamaria’s support adds another dimension to the basketball star’s life beyond the court.


Luka Doncic Unsure He Will Ever Leave The Mavericks

Luka Doncic recently addressed speculations about his future with the Dallas Mavericks, emphasizing his contentment with the team and dispelling notions of an imminent departure. In an interview with Rachel Nichols, Doncic expressed a strong connection to the Mavericks, considering it his home since being drafted by the team.

The 24-year-old guard, amidst MVP-caliber performances this season, is leading the Mavericks with impressive averages of 32.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 9.1 assists. The team, currently standing at 16-10, is positioned fifth in the highly competitive Western Conference. Despite facing challenges, including recent injuries to key players like Kyrie Irving, Josh Green, and Maxi Kleber, the Mavericks remain a formidable force.

Doncic acknowledged the team’s setbacks, including a tough loss to the Timberwolves, which would have elevated them to the second position in the West. Despite the hurdles, Doncic’s commitment to the Mavericks and optimism about their future was evident, especially considering the team’s positive moves in the recent offseason.

As the Mavericks navigate a challenging December schedule, Doncic’s leadership and resilience on the court continue to play a pivotal role in the team’s pursuit of success.
