Two of the most interesting players in the league to watch are Devin Booker and Luka Doncic. Doncic and Booker, who are only 24 and 26 years old, respectively, have had a fair amount of memorable on-court moments in their battles. Despite some fans’ conjectures regarding a potential familial relationship stemming from their physical resemblance and basketball skills, it’s crucial to make it clear that Doncic and Booker are unrelated.

In Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals of the 2022 playoffs, Doncic scored 35 points to help his Dallas Mavericks defeat the Booker-led Phoenix Suns by 33 points. Doncic made the famous statement, “Everyone appears tough when they’re winning,” following their Game 5 defeat. This performance was in response to that statement.

On February 28, 1999, Luka Doncic was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, to Mirjam Poterbin and Saša Doncic. His mother Mirjam has worked as a beautician, businesswoman, philanthropist, and model in the past. Saša, Luka’s father, is a former player and professional basketball coach from Slovenia who most recently led Ilirija in the Slovenian League.

On the other hand, Melvin Booker and Veronica Gutiérrez welcomed Booker into the world on October 30, 1996, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. Devin is his father’s only kid. His father Melvin is a former professional basketball player who briefly played point guard for the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, and Houston Rockets. His mother Veronica is a cosmetologist.

Although Melvin played basketball professionally and traveled around Europe, there is no information indicating that he is related to the Doncic family.

It is untrue to speculate that Devin Booker and Luka Doncic are related; both players have different basketball backgrounds and family histories.
