Jeremy Lamb's NBA Journey and New Chapter
Article Continues BelowJeremy Lamb, who recently announced his retirement from the NBA, spent his last season with the Sacramento Kings after averaging 7.8 points per game during the 2021-22 season. His pro career spanned ten years, beginning with the Houston Rockets, who selected him as the No. 12 overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. Throughout his career, Lamb played for several teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder, Charlotte Hornets, and Indiana Pacers, and he also made a mark in the G League with teams like the Tulsa 66ers. He won an NCAA championship in 2011 while at UConn alongside notable players like Kemba Walker and Shabazz Napier.
After being waived by the Kings, Lamb played for the Stockton Kings, where he encountered an unfortunate setback—an ankle injury that ended his season early. His connection with Anjali may have deepened during their time together in the G League, especially since she served as the general manager during his stint with the team.
Jeremy Lamb's retirement marks a new chapter for him, and fans might expect to see him cheering for the Kings at games, as he has a unique connection to the franchise. Anjali's recent transition from her role with the Stockton Kings to pursuing a Ph.D. and focusing on her nonprofit work indicates her ambition to create positive changes in various sectors, including basketball and animal welfare.
As their relationship develops, both Anjali and Jeremy seem poised to embark on exciting journeys in their personal and professional lives, blending the worlds of sports and philanthropy. Anjali's affection is evident, as she affectionately commented on Lamb's Instagram post, stating, “I love you tater,” accompanied by several heart-eyed emojis.
