DALLAS — Editor's note: The Associated Press contributed to this story.
Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic will miss his first game of the season Friday night when he sits against the Memphis Grizzlies for personal reasons.
Doncic and fellow guard Dante Exum are both listed as out for personal reasons on the NBA injury report.
On Instagram, Doncic posted a picture of a newborn baby, tagging his fiancé, with the caption "Gabriela 💕!"
Doncic announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Anamaria Goltes, on July 7 with the caption💍❤️ 7.7 -- seemingly an ode to Doncic's jersey number 77.
The 24-year-old Doncic is third in the NBA in scoring at 31.1 points per game, and the four-time All-Star is averaging 8.1 rebounds and 7.9 assists.
The Mavericks are off to an 11-6 start with Doncic and eight-time All-Star Kyrie Irving paired from the beginning of the season for the first time. Irving is averaging 24.6 points per game.
