On Friday afternoon, Doncic and his fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, announced the birth of their first child, a daughter named Gabriela.
Reserve guard Dante Exum will also sit out against the Grizzlies because of personal reasons. Doncic and Exum were both added to the NBA's official injury report on the 12:30 p.m. ET release Friday.
