All the headlines of the Luka Doncic trade rightfully go to the Slovenian, but the man on the other side of the deal has been a league veteran for over a decade and wasn’t batted an eyelid. Mavericks‘ latest recruit Anthony Davis is widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards of all time. But his injury in his debut game kinda put his part of the deal under the radar.Speaking of his debut, AD’s first game for the Mavs was in a 116–105 win over the Houston Rockets. He put up a monstrous showing of 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists. This made him only the third player to put up at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in a half in Mavericks franchise history. But a left adductor strain in the same game sidelined him indefinitely, including a return to the Crypto.com Arena against his former team, the Lakers. But that’s enough about his legacy. Today we get a little more personal, and dive into his family background.He married Marlen Polanco on September 18, 2021 in a star-studded event that included the likes of LeBron James, singer Adele, and Russell Westbrook coming to show their congratulations in person. His first of three kids, Nala Davis, was born in 2017. This was all before his relationship with Marlen went public, setting a pattern when it comes to the publicity of his family.Feb 7, 2025; Dallas, TX, USA; Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis speaks to the media during a press conference at the Dallas Mavericks practice facility.

What we do know is that the 31-year-old has two other baby boys, and he has brought them along to games on occasion.“The greatest luxury in life is family. I think no matter what you go through, your family is always going to be there. You can get into it with them — argue with, complain, go through a low point in your life, have something great or something bad going on — they’re always going to be there,” says AD, who rarely opens up about his family to maintain privacy.Anthony Davis rules out father-son possibility in the NBAAs a pro sportsman, it’d be a moment of pride for any father to be able to play with his child on the same team. We’ve already seen it with Bron and his son Bronny, but for Davis, that’s the extent he’s willing to see in the sport, at least when it comes to himself.AD is 31 now, and still going strong. But his sons are just two and three, which means it’ll take another 17 years minimum for his sons to be repping it in the majors. By that time he’ll be in his late 40s, and I highly doubt he’ll still be going strong then.“Me playing basketball with my kids? That’s not happening. No no. My son is three and the other one is two. That’s not happening but I do think about in the sense of, man, if they were older, I would try to stick around. They got the height, for sure. But they’re young now. I’m trying not to pressure them too much where they don’t love the game but as they get older, I’m definitely going to force it on them, for sure,” said Davis to MSN.Jan 28, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis stands for the anthem before action against the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center.

He might not bring their identity out onto public forums for obvious reasons, but it’s clear on his side that he’d not be where he is without the support of his wife and kids.The post How Many Kids Does Anthony Davis Have?
