Luka Doncic’s fiancée reacts to seeing him with Lakers jersey after trade
Luka Doncic’s fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, is loving the purple and gold.
The model gushed over the All-NBA point guard on Tuesday when he was photographed holding up his No. 77 Lakers jersey, two days after the Mavericks traded him to Los Angeles in a stunning blockbuster that transpired early Sunday morning.
Goltes re-shared a photo of Doncic from the Lakers’ Instagram account and added a bunch of red heart emojis in an Instagram Story.

It came after she re-posted Doncic’s farewell letter to Dallas and wrote “thank you” with a blue heart emoji.
The couple got engaged in July 2023.
Doncic, 25, was the centerpiece of arguably the biggest NBA trade ever, which sent Lakers star Anthony Davis to Dallas.
Along with Doncic, the Mavericks traded Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to Los Angeles for Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick in a three-team deal with the Jazz.

Utah received Jalen Hood-Schifino, a 2025 second-round pick via the Clippers and the Mavericks’ 2025 second-round pick.
Doncic and Davis admitted they were shocked by the news, which came before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
Doncic, who is close to returning from a calf strain, did not suit up for the Lakers’ 122-97 victory over the Clippers at Intuit Dome on Tuesday.

The Slovenian star was wearing street clothes as he sat on the bench.
He was clapping for his new teammates throughout the game — and at one point, was seen laughing with LeBron James’ son, Bronny.
Doncic and James celebrated Bronny’s first career 3-pointer in the final six minutes while sitting on the bench together.

Down in Dallas, Davis told reporters during a Mavericks practice on Tuesday that he was sitting down at home for a movie night with his wife when the trade news dropped.
The 31-year-old Davis, who did not play for Dallas in Tuesday’s 118-116 loss to the Sixers, said he could play either Thursday against the Boston Celtics or Saturday against the Houston Rockets, according to ESPN.
The Lakers host the Warriors on Thursday.
