The rumor mill is churning around Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic, and this time it's not about his on-court heroics. A Slovenian news outlet, Nedeljski dnevnik, reported that Doncic was spotted at a Ljubljana restaurant last Friday, and among those present was Slovenian model Anja Jenko. The story didn't reach American sports media until Tuesday, but it's already generating plenty of buzz.
Jenko, who boasts over 123,000 Instagram followers, is no stranger to the spotlight. She graced the cover of Playboy Magazine back in 2014, and her social media presence has been steadily growing. But is there any real connection to Doncic? That remains unclear. The California Post noted, "For what it's worth, there's no reporting that Lakers star guard Luka Dončić (who hosted the Lakers roster in his home country of Slovenia) nor anybody else on the roster was spending time with Jenko specifically."
Still, the speculation has been enough to earn Jenko a fresh wave of followers online. Whether she'll be courtside at any Lakers games this season is anyone's guess, but the internet is already having fun with the possibility.
It's been a challenging offseason for Doncic, who is currently embroiled in a child support dispute with his ex-fiancée, Anamaria Goltes. According to TMZ, Goltes has filed a new claim in Slovenia seeking $40 million for herself, on top of an additional $10 million for their two daughters. "Luka has said he'd do anything for his kids, so $10 mil may be realistic for them, but the $40 mil is a whole other story," TMZ reported.
Doncic, who averaged a stellar 33.5 points per game last season, has kept his personal life largely under wraps. But on the court, he's gearing up to lead a revamped Lakers roster this fall. The team has made significant moves this offseason, and fans are eager to see how the new pieces fit together.
While the Jenko rumor adds a layer of off-court intrigue, Doncic's focus remains on basketball. The Lakers are poised to make a deep playoff run, and Doncic's leadership will be crucial. As the season approaches, expect more headlines—both on and off the hardwood.
