Former NBA guard Jeremy Lamb and Anjali Ranadive, daughter of Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, have officially made their relationship public. Anjali, who previously served as the general manager of the Stockton Kings, the G League affiliate of the Sacramento Kings, shared the news on Instagram on Monday, posting a photo of the couple kissing.
She captioned the post “My pack” with a heart emoji, indicating the deep bond they share. The post was a joint update with Jaws and Paws, the wolf-dog sanctuary and conservation organization that Anjali founded in 2013 and runs with a team of women.
Jeremy Lamb, who recently announced his retirement from basketball after a 10-season career in the NBA, also confirmed their relationship on social media. Lamb shared a playful video of the two driving in a car, lip-syncing to DaBaby’s song “I’m Outside,” and sharing a kiss.
Anjali responded to the post in the comments, writing “I love you tater” along with several heart-eyes emojis.

Lamb, a former standout at UConn, had most recently played for the Sacramento Kings during the 2021-22 NBA season. After being waived by the Kings, he joined their G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings, for the 2023 season, during which Anjali was serving as the team’s general manager.
Lamb’s time with Stockton was cut short by a season-ending ankle injury in March. Interestingly, two months prior to his injury, Anjali had stepped down from her GM role to pursue a Ph.D. and dedicate more time to her nonprofit work.
While it’s unclear when exactly the relationship began, their time together during Lamb’s stint with Stockton has raised questions about whether their romance may have blossomed during that period. Nonetheless, the couple seems to be enjoying their time together and have fully embraced sharing their relationship with the public.
Jeremy Lamb’s basketball career saw him play for several NBA teams, including the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Charlotte Hornets, Indiana Pacers, and Sacramento Kings. He was originally the 12th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Rockets. Throughout his career, Lamb also had a stint with the Tulsa 66ers (now the Oklahoma City Blue), the Thunder’s G League affiliate.
His professional career followed an illustrious college tenure at UConn, where he helped lead the team to the 2011 NCAA Championship alongside future NBA stars Kemba Walker and Shabazz Napier.
As both Lamb and Ranadive embark on new chapters in their personal and professional lives, their relationship continues to draw interest, particularly given their high-profile connections to the NBA.
Lamb’s post-basketball journey and Anjali’s ongoing philanthropic efforts make them a power couple in their own right.
