Luka Dončić announced in early May that he would not participate with the national team this year. The decision was made because he intends to dedicate the upcoming summer to spending time with his daughters, following a season marked by injury. The basketball star, who resides and works in the United States, is currently involved in legal proceedings concerning custody of his children.
These are his two-year-old daughter, Gabriela, and six-month-old Olivia. The children are presently residing in Slovenia with their mother, Anamarija Goltes. Dončić confirmed his intention to spend the summer period with his daughters two months ago.
This announcement follows previous confirmations regarding the dissolution of his long-term partnership. While Dončić has not provided specific details about the separation, reports indicate that the conclusion of the relationship was not amicable. Documentation obtained by American media outlets suggests that the custody arrangements for his daughters have been subject to considerable legal dispute.
The focus for Luka remains on his family during this period. His commitment to his daughters has prompted him to step away from international basketball commitments for the immediate future. The ongoing custody matters continue to be a significant aspect of his personal life as he navigates this transition period away from professional sports.
