Last night, the Dallas Mavericks’ playoff run was ended by the Los Angeles Clippers. After a valiant effort, the Mavs lasted six games and bowed out. Leading the Mavs single-handedly was 21-year-old Luka Doncic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-orlando-bubble-dallas-mavericks-luka-doncic-outscores-michael-jordan-kobe-bryant-lebron-james-in-major-nba-playoffs-stat-los-angeles-lakers-chicago-bulls/], who was the star of the show. Despite it being his first-ever playoff series, Doncic played like an experienced veteran. He averaged 31 points, [https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/doncilu01/gamelog-playoffs/#1-6-sum:pgl_basic_playoffs] 9.8 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game in the six games. With Kristaps Porzingis out with an injury, the 2019-20 Rookie of the Year had a huge burden to bear. He did his best to carry the team, but it wasn’t enough. Game 4 [https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202008230DAL.html] was one of the most exciting games in the series, thanks to Doncic. He scored a whopping 43 points and grabbed 17 rebounds and 13 assists and finished it off with a buzzer-beater to win the game. We may not be able to watch the young magician any further, but in these six games, he has already given fans many iconic moments to look back. LUKA DONCIC: BEST YOUNG PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE? Post Game 6, Clippers star Kawhi Leonard [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-orland-bubble-playoffs-2020-his-demeanor-was-felt-la-clippers-guard-paul-george-sings-praises-for-kawhi-leonard/] was all praise for Doncic. Doncic was impressive throughout the regular season as well. Averaging 28.8 points [https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/doncilu01.html], 9.4 rebounds, and 8.8 assists, he led them to a playoff spot for the first time since 2016. After winning Rookie of the Year last season, he is now in the running for Most Improved Player. He has had a huge increase in all of his stats and is a favorite to win the award. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/luka-doncic-mavericks.jpg] He is already one of best young players in the league. As he enters his third season, he is only going to get better. The talent he has displayed has shown that he is on his way to becoming one of the all-time greats in the league. 

After last night's loss to the Clippers, Luka Doncic and the Mavericks' season
got cut short. But it was still a memorable year for him.

<h2><strong>Kawhi Leonard 2022: Net worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Kawhi Leonard, who plays primarily as a small forward in the National Basketball Association (<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a>), was born on June 29, 1991, and currently plays for Los Angeles Clippers.

Leonard first played for San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. He was selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Indiana Pacers, but was traded that night to the San Antonio Spurs. Once there, he played with them for seven seasons.

While he was known for his defensive prowess, Kawhi eventually evolved into an incredible two-way player as his offense improved drastically. 1 Finals MVP, 2 All-Star appearances, 2 All-NBA selections and 2 DPOY titles later, 'the Klaw' wanted a new challenge.

[caption id="attachment_608307" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-608307" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210406104735/2021-03-25T012207Z_490486441_MT1USATODAY15789013_RTRMADP_3_NBA-LOS-ANGELES-CLIPPERS-AT-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS.jpg" alt="Kawhi Leonard" width="1920" height="1280" /> Mar 24, 2021; San Antonio, Texas, USA; Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (2) reacts after scoring a basket against the San Antonio Spurs the first quarter at AT&amp;T Center.

Toronto Raptors came calling. After winning a championship with the Raptors, Leonard became a free agent. While he could have re-signed, Leonard opted to stay with a team near LA.

While many rumors linked him to the Lakers, Kawhi joined cross city rivals Clippers along with Paul George. Before moving to the Clippers, Leonard is known to have brought a luxurious $13.3 million worth mansion. He lost his father, Mark Leonard, in 2008.

He lives with his mother Kim Robertson and has two children with his girlfriend, Kishele Shipley. Leonard’s uncle, Dennis Robertson, before Leonard's move to the Raptors, frequently mentioned about a Spurs exit.
<h2>Kawhi Leonard with the Toronto Raptors</h2>
Ahead of the 2018-19 season, Kawhi's time with the Spurs was pretty much done and dusted. With a year left in his contract many teams weren't willing to take a risk in trading for 'the Klaw'.

But the Raptors who had seen multiple seasons of early elimination in the post-season took a massive gamble. Trading away one of their biggest legends in DeMar DeRozan, the Raps added Kawhi.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-236174" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200316204842/kawhi-leonard-6-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2400" height="1499" />

The impact was pretty much immediate. With the Raptors' defense arguably one of the best in the league, Toronto solidified themselves as one of the favorites to win the title. With the Warriors' suffering from injuries in the Finals, the dream became a reality.

Ending the Dubs' dynasty in six games, the city of Toronto were crowned as NBA champions for the first time and Kawhi won his 2nd championship and his 2nd Finals trophy of his career.
<h2>Kawhi Leonard with the LA Clippers</h2>
After an incredible season with the Raptors, Kawhi became a free agent and chose the Clippers as his next destination.

With Paul George forming an incredible partnership with him and a pretty much stacked roster, Leonard and Co. were the favorites to win the 2019-20 season. But an uncharacteristically bad performance meant that the team crashed out in seven games against the Nuggets.

The 2020-21 playoffs however painted a very different picture. With Kawhi and Paul George perform at their peak, the Clippers looked unstoppable. But their progress came to a screeching halt as Leonard suffered from a partial tear to his ACL.

There is not much progress in the 2021-22 season, as Leonard hasn't played a game yet. His injury is a long-term one, and its evolution will determine his return.

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kristaps Porzingis 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Kristaps Porzingis is a seven-foot-three center who plays for Dallas Mavericks in the NBA. He was born on August 2, 1995, in Liepaja, Latvia. Porzingis was the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Basketball runs in his family as Porzingis’ parents Talis and Ingrida both played the game during their younger years. After playing for Latvian youth clubs until he was 15, Porzingis then made the move to Spain where he was sought by Sevilla, a Liga ACB team. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis initially was given a place in Sevilla’s youth team, but swiftly made his professional debut a year after. He improved his game with the Spanish team and won the EuroCup Rising Star Award in 2015, after which he declared his eligibility for the NBA Draft. </span>

[caption id="attachment_435122" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-435122" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-997832984.jpg" alt="Kristaps Porzingis of the Dallas Mavericks" width="1920" height="1280" /> 13 July 2018, Berlin, Germany: Kristaps Porzingis (R), power forward of the New York Knicks plays with youth players of the basketball team ALBA Berlin during a joint training session. The Latvian basketball player is currently on an advertising tour in Germany. Photo: Gregor Fischer/dpa (Photo by Gregor Fischer/picture alliance via Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400;">As for the Latvian’s love life, there are several rumors about his alleged girlfriend on the internet. He has been linked with a few women in the past, but his current girlfriend is reported to go by the name, </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bambie_girl/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bambi</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Kristaps Porzingis NBA Career</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis came into the league through the 2015 draft when the New York Knicks used their fourth overall pick to select the Latvian. He became an immediate starter and fulfilled his expectations. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">He dismissed rumors about him being a draft bust and enticed Knicks fans with his dominant displays. Porzingis averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in his first NBA season and finished second behind Karl-Anthony Towns in the Rookie of the Year voting. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis rose to stardom as a sophomore and put up massive numbers until he tore his ACL in February 2018. This played a huge role in his exit from New York as the injury kept him sidelined for several months. </span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-335024 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200807082903/https___www.si_.com_.image_MTY5OTQ3OTA4MDIyNDc4MjAx_kristaps-porzingis-mavericks-new.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Knicks too, consequently decided to wait against offering him a rookie extension which made him a restricted free agent in 2019. As a result, the Dallas Mavericks stopped by and pulled off an epic trade for the towering Latvian.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis then signed a five-year deal with the Mavericks worth $158 million while sitting out the remainder of the 2018-19 season. He made his debut with Dallas the following year and formed a destructive partnership with Luka Doncic. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Major Achievements </b></h2>

Kristaps Porzingis

Kristaps Porzingis 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements Kristaps Porzingis is a seven-foot-three center who plays for Dallas Mavericks in the NBA. He was born on August 2, 1995, in Liepaja, Latvia. Porzingis was the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.  Basketball runs in his family as Porzingis’ parents Talis and Ingrida both played the game during their younger years. After playing for Latvian youth clubs until he was 15, Porzingis then made the move to Spain where he was sought by Sevilla, a Liga ACB team.  Porzingis initially was given a place in Sevilla’s youth team, but swiftly made his professional debut a year after. He improved his game with the Spanish team and won the EuroCup Rising Star Award in 2015, after which he declared his eligibility for the NBA Draft.  13 July 2018, Berlin, Germany: Kristaps Porzingis (R), power forward of the New York Knicks plays with youth players of the basketball team ALBA Berlin during a joint training session. The Latvian basketball player is currently on an advertising tour in Germany. Photo: Gregor Fischer/dpa (Photo by Gregor Fischer/picture alliance via Getty Images) As for the Latvian’s love life, there are several rumors about his alleged girlfriend on the internet. He has been linked with a few women in the past, but his current girlfriend is reported to go by the name, Bambi.  Kristaps Porzingis NBA Career Porzingis came into the league through the 2015 draft when the New York Knicks used their fourth overall pick to select the Latvian. He became an immediate starter and fulfilled his expectations.  He dismissed rumors about him being a draft bust and enticed Knicks fans with his dominant displays. Porzingis averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in his first NBA season and finished second behind Karl-Anthony Towns in the Rookie of the Year voting.  Porzingis rose to stardom as a sophomore and put up massive numbers until he tore his ACL in February 2018. This played a huge role in his exit from New York as the injury kept him sidelined for several months.  The Knicks too, consequently decided to wait against offering him a rookie extension which made him a restricted free agent in 2019. As a result, the Dallas Mavericks stopped by and pulled off an epic trade for the towering Latvian. Porzingis then signed a five-year deal with the Mavericks worth $158 million while sitting out the remainder of the 2018-19 season. He made his debut with Dallas the following year and formed a destructive partnership with Luka Doncic.  Major Achievements  NBA All-Star (2018) NBA All-Rookie First Team (2016) EuroCup Rising Star (2015) 2× ACB All-Young Players Team (2014, 2015) Kristaps Porzingis NBA Stats Porzingis is now an important player in the Mavs’ roster and he has cemented his place with his extraordinary talent.

<p class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Luka Doncic has quickly become one of the NBA's most talented young stars since entering the league in 2018. The 24-year-old Slovenian sensation was selected 3rd by Atlanta before being traded to Dallas, where he has shined over his first four seasons.</p>

Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<p class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">He took Spain's ACB League and EuroLeague by storm as a teenager for Real Madrid, winning EuroLeague MVP at 19 before making the jump to the NBA. Doncic has averaged over 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists the past three seasons, earning back-to-back All-NBA First Team nods.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic's early life</b></h2>
Luka Doncic was born and brought up in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Interestingly, Luka first touched a basketball when he was just seven months old as his father, Sasa, was a professional player turned coach. The Slovenian's love for the game increased as he grew older and he continued to improve at a rapid pace as well.

Doncic started playing for his hometown club Union Olimpija and often practiced with kids much older than him because of his advanced skill set. When he was 13, Luka took a huge step in his life and career, when he moved to Madrid, Spain to play for Real Madrid. He graduated high school in Spain and did not go to college.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic's family and personal life</b></h2>
Luka Doncic was born on February 28, 1999 to Mirjam Poterbin and Sasa Doncic. His parents separated and subsequently divorced in 2018 when the Dallas Mavericks star was nine years old. The custody and legal guardianship of Luka was reportedly granted to his mother.

Mirjam was a model who even participated in the Miss Slovenia pageant in 1993. After her modeling career, she ran a beauty salon with her mother. <span class="LrzXr kno-fv wHYlTd z8gr9e">Sasa Doncic</span>Â played basketball for 17 years and has multiple accolades to his name. He has also played for the Slovenian national team. After retiring in 2010, <span class="LrzXr kno-fv wHYlTd z8gr9e">SaÅ¡a DonÄiÄ‡ </span>started his coaching career in 2022.

According to multiple reports, Luka has been in a long-term relationship with the Slovenian model Anamaria Goltes. Goltes is also from Ljubljana, Slovenia, and went to the same school as Luka when she was young. However, the couple first met in Croatia during a vacation when they were just 12. Goltes is a model who has a massive following on social media. In 2016, Anamaria moved to the U.S. to pursue her modeling career.

The year also marked the start of a romantic relationship between the two childhood friends. The couple reportedly hit a rough patch in 2018 but are still going strong. <span style="font-weight: 400">In July 2023, Doncic got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Anamaria Goltes, and became a father to a baby girl named Gabriela.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Luka Doncic signed a five-year $215 million contract extension with theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/dallas-mavericks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a>Â in 2021, which earned him over $37 million for the 2022-23 season. The massive contract will fetch him over $40 million for the next season and he will receive an average salary of $43 million. So far, Doncic has reportedly made over $69 million in NBA salaries. Luka has an estimated net worth of $25 million, according to various reports. Furthermore, the combo guard also makes millions every year from his endorsements and partnerships.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic'</b><b>s basketball career</b></h2>
Luka Doncic grabbed the attention of major teams in Europe after impressing with his displays for local club Union Olimpija. In 2012, Real Madrid came calling and signed Luka for a five-year contract when he was just 13. The young star continued his development while playing for the under-16s and led the team to a Minicopa Endesa win in 2013. For his unreal performances, Doncic was named the MVP of the under-16 championship. He carried on his impressive development with the under-18s in the next few seasons.

During the 2014-15 season, Doncic made his professional debut for Real Madrid at the age of just 16. In the next season, he became a regular for the senior team. The years that followed saw the dominance of Doncic grow in the Spanish league. In the 2017-18 season, he led Real Madrid to a EuroLeague triumph and was named the EuroLeague MVP for his displays. He also helped the team clinch the Liga ACB title and took home the Liga ACB MVP honors as well.

Doncic then declared for the 2018 NBA draft. TheÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/atlanta-hawks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Atlanta Hawks</a>Â selected him as the 3rd overall pick and then traded him on the same day for Trae Young who was drafted as the 5th pick by the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic hit the ground running for the Mavs and won the Rookie of the Year award, averaging 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. He astonished everyone with his maturity on the hardwood and the ability to control the pace of the game despite being very young. Doncic made his first-ever NBA All-Star appearance in his sophomore year. He has made the team for four straight years ever since.

Doncic led the Mavs to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since the 2010-11 season. However, he could not help the team past the eventual champions the Golden State Warriors. Given the teams' heroics in the playoffs last season, there were huge expectations from Luka and the Mavericks for the 2022-23 season. Doncic started the season great and was in the MVP race for most of the campaign. However, the team struggled massively in the concluding stages of the season and failed to make it to the playoffs eventually.

<span style="font-weight: 400">In January 2023, DonÄiÄ‡ was awarded the Western Conference Player of the Month award for his play during December, the third of his career. He was also named a Western Conference starter for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, marking his fourth consecutive selection. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">During a game in March, Kyrie Irving scored 40 points while his teammate, Luka DonÄiÄ‡, scored 42 points.

Luka Doncic

&nbsp; Who is Luka Doncic? Luka Doncic has quickly become one of the NBA&#8217;s most talented young stars since entering the league in 2018. The 24-year-old Slovenian sensation was selected 3rd by Atlanta before being traded to Dallas, where he has shined over his first four seasons. Jan 27, 2024; Dallas, Texas, USA; Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (77) reacts to being called for a technical foul against the Sacramento Kings during the second quarter at the American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports He took Spain&#8217;s ACB League and EuroLeague by storm as a teenager for Real Madrid, winning EuroLeague MVP at 19 before making the jump to the NBA. Doncic has averaged over 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists the past three seasons, earning back-to-back All-NBA First Team nods. Luka Doncic&#8217;s early life Luka Doncic was born and brought up in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Interestingly, Luka first touched a basketball when he was just seven months old as his father, Sasa, was a professional player turned coach. The Slovenian&#8217;s love for the game increased as he grew older and he continued to improve at a rapid pace as well. Doncic started playing for his hometown club Union Olimpija and often practiced with kids much older than him because of his advanced skill set. When he was 13, Luka took a huge step in his life and career, when he moved to Madrid, Spain to play for Real Madrid. He graduated high school in Spain and did not go to college. Luka Doncic&#8217;s family and personal life Luka Doncic was born on February 28, 1999 to Mirjam Poterbin and Sasa Doncic. His parents separated and subsequently divorced in 2018 when the Dallas Mavericks star was nine years old. The custody and legal guardianship of Luka was reportedly granted to his mother. Mirjam was a model who even participated in the Miss Slovenia pageant in 1993. After her modeling career, she ran a beauty salon with her mother. Sasa DoncicÂ played basketball for 17 years and has multiple accolades to his name. He has also played for the Slovenian national team. After retiring in 2010, SaÅ¡a DonÄiÄ‡ started his coaching career in 2022.  USA Today via Reuters According to multiple reports, Luka has been in a long-term relationship with the Slovenian model Anamaria Goltes. Goltes is also from Ljubljana, Slovenia, and went to the same school as Luka when she was young. However, the couple first met in Croatia during a vacation when they were just 12. Goltes is a model who has a massive following on social media. In 2016, Anamaria moved to the U.S. to pursue her modeling career. The year also marked the start of a romantic relationship between the two childhood friends. The couple reportedly hit a rough patch in 2018 but are still going strong. In July 2023, Doncic got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Anamaria Goltes, and became a father to a baby girl named Gabriela. Luka Doncic&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 Luka Doncic signed a five-year $215 million contract extension with theÂ Dallas MavericksÂ in 2021, which earned him over $37 million for the 2022-23 season. The massive contract will fetch him over $40 million for the next season and he will receive an average salary of $43 million. So far, Doncic has reportedly made over $69 million in NBA salaries. Luka has an estimated net worth of $25 million, according to various reports. Furthermore, the combo guard also makes millions every year from his endorsements and partnerships. Luka Doncic&#8217;s basketball career Luka Doncic grabbed the attention of major teams in Europe after impressing with his displays for local club Union Olimpija. In 2012, Real Madrid came calling and signed Luka for a five-year contract when he was just 13. The young star continued his development while playing for the under-16s and led the team to a Minicopa Endesa win in 2013. For his unreal performances, Doncic was named the MVP of the under-16 championship. He carried on his impressive development with the under-18s in the next few seasons. During the 2014-15 season, Doncic made his professional debut for Real Madrid at the age of just 16. In the next season, he became a regular for the senior team. The years that followed saw the dominance of Doncic grow in the Spanish league. In the 2017-18 season, he led Real Madrid to a EuroLeague triumph and was named the EuroLeague MVP for his displays. He also helped the team clinch the Liga ACB title and took home the Liga ACB MVP honors as well.  USA Today via Reuters Doncic then declared for the 2018 NBA draft. TheÂ Atlanta HawksÂ selected him as the 3rd overall pick and then traded him on the same day for Trae Young who was drafted as the 5th pick by the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic hit the ground running for the Mavs and won the Rookie of the Year award, averaging 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. He astonished everyone with his maturity on the hardwood and the ability to control the pace of the game despite being very young. Doncic made his first-ever NBA All-Star appearance in his sophomore year. He has made the team for four straight years ever since. Doncic led the Mavs to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since the 2010-11 season. However, he could not help the team past the eventual champions the Golden State Warriors. Given the teams&#8217; heroics in the playoffs last season, there were huge expectations from Luka and the Mavericks for the 2022-23 season. Doncic started the season great and was in the MVP race for most of the campaign. However, the team struggled massively in the concluding stages of the season and failed to make it to the playoffs eventually. In January 2023, DonÄiÄ‡ was awarded the Western Conference Player of the Month award for his play during December, the third of his career. He was also named a Western Conference starter for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, marking his fourth consecutive selection. During a game in March, Kyrie Irving scored 40 points while his teammate, Luka DonÄiÄ‡, scored 42 points. It was the first time in Dallas franchise history that two players scored 40 points in the same game.Â  In March, he surpassed Mark Aguirreâ€™s previous record for the most 30-point games in a season in Mavericks history. Following this, in October, DonÄiÄ‡ became the first player in Mavericks history to put up a 30-point triple-double in a season-opening game. On the 25th of December 2023, DonÄiÄ‡ became the sixth player to reach 10,000 career regular-season points before turning 25, tied Bob McAdoo for reaching 10,000 points in the 7th-fewest games in NBA history, and became the quickest to 10,000 points among active players with 358 games. This is the fastest since Michael Jordan. He also tied for 3rd-most points for Christmas Day games, behind Bernard King and Wilt Chamberlain.
