PHOTO: Former Stockton Kings GM Anjali Ranadive kisses Jeremy Lamb months after both left the G-League affiliate

Former Stockton Kings general manager Anjali Ranadive shared photos on Monday with former NBA player Jeremy Lamb, including one of them kissing. Anjali, the daughter of Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, resigned from her position in the G-League affiliate last January while Lamb announced his retirement last August.

In a post on her official Instagram account, Anjali shared a trio of photos of herself with Lamb and presumably her three wolf-dogs. She owns the Jaws and Paws Wolf-Dog Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to wolf-dog rescue and wolf conversation, based in Lincoln, California.

Anjali and Lamb are kissing in the second photo below. She was previously linked to rapper Tyga back in 2014 but denied dating him and said they were just working on a musical project, as per TMZ.

Anjali Ranadive was initially appointed as assistant general manager of the Stockton Kings in May 2022. She became the general manager more than a year later after Paul Johnson was promoted to the Sacramento Kings front office. She hired Lindsey Harding as head coach, making Stockton the first G League team in history to have a female coach and general manager.

In her only season as general manager, Stockton had a record of 25-7 and made it all the way to the G League semifinals. She resigned from her position in January to focus on getting her doctoral degree and running Jaws and Paws Wolf-Dog Sanctuary.

On the other hand, Jeremy Lamb played in the NBA from 2012 to 2022. He was selected 12th overall by the Houston Rockets in 2012 before getting traded to the OKC Thunder before the start of his rookie season as part of the James Harden deal.

Lamb spent three seasons in Oklahoma City before getting traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 2015. He had his best years in Charlotte, averaging 15.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in his final season there in 2019. He signed with the Indiana Pacers as a free agent and was part of the blockbuster Domantas Sabonis trade to the Kings in 2022.

The UConn product was inactive during the 2022-23 NBA season before re-signing a deal with the Sacramento Kings. He was waived before the start of the season and signed with their NBA G League affiliate in Stockton. He retired from pro basketball in August.
