Goltes is the mother of Dončić's two daughters -- 2-year-old Gabriela and 4-month-old Olivia -- and lives in Slovenia with the children but filed her petition in California earlier this month.

This comes after Dončić filed an interim injunction with the Slovenian courts last month, seeking immediate contact with Gabriela and Olivia, sources familiar with Dončić's situation told ESPN, and addressing joint custody and child support.

A message from ESPN seeking comment from Goltes' attorney, Evan C. Itzkowitz, was not immediately replied to.

Dončić, 27, remains a resident of Texas despite being traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025, sources familiar with Dončić's situation told ESPN. Furthermore, one of Dončić's daughters was with him in California for only three months last spring, and his other daughter has never been to the state.

Dončić and the Lakers are playing the Orlando Magic on Saturday, looking to extend their eight-game winning streak.

During the streak, Dončić has averaged 40.9 points -- making him the fifth player in NBA history to average 40-plus points over an eight-game streak, joining Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Michael Jordan and James Harden.
