Anjali Ranadive, daughter of Sacramento Kings owner and Silicon Valley billionaire Vivek, appears to have a new love interest: retired NBA point guard Jeremy Lamb.
The relationship was revealed on Instagram, where Anjali, 32, shared a photo of herself kissing the former Kings player alongside three leashed wolves, a longtime interest of the budding philanthropist.
“My pack,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a heart emoji, a wolf emoji and Lamb’s handle.
The origins of their relationship remain a mystery, but they had some professional overlap within the Kings organization.
In addition to her wildlife charity work and singing career, Anjali served as assistant general manager of the King’s G League branch in Stockton until January 19, when she resigned to pursue other interests.
Anjali Ranadive, the daughter of Kings owner Vivek, is dating one of her father’s former players.
Lamb, a 10-season NBA veteran, may have met Anjali during his time in Stockton.
Lamb, also 32, came to Sacramento in a trade in February 2022 and, although he was released a year later, resurfaced with the Stockton Kings in November.
He ultimately suffered a season-ending injury in March before opting to retire in August.
It is unclear whether Anjali and Lamb began socializing during their respective Stockton tenures.
Regardless, they seem excited to be alongside a trio of wolves in the photos.
Lamb is coming off a successful 10-year NBA career, much of which was spent in Oklahoma City, Charlotte and Indiana. He had his best season, offensively, with the Hornets in 2018-19, when he averaged a career-high 15.3 points per game.
He is perhaps best remembered for his college career at UConn, where he won a national title in 2011.

His father, Vivek, appeared in Malcolm Gladwell’s 2013 book, David and Goliath. But instead of Vivek’s career in business intelligence software, the text focused on the billionaire’s decision to coach Anjali’s high school basketball team.
Vivek had never touched a basketball until he was 40, but he guided the team to success using a set of principles that Gladwell applies to other life lessons.
It was that experience that ultimately led Vivek to purchase the Kings in 2013.
Since then, Sacramento has made the playoffs just once, losing a first-round series to the rival Warriors in 2023.
