Tennis star Maria Sharapova and Los Angeles Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic are engaged.
"We are engaged and are both really happy," Vujacic said Thursday before the Lakers' exhibition game against the Golden State Warriors.
Vujacic, 26, said he popped the question to the three-time Grand Slam champion on their one-year anniversary with an "old-school" proposal. "I had to do it like a gentleman. It was good. She was happy," he said. "The answer was 'yes,' so I think she liked it."

Vujacic returned to action Thursday, a week after suffering a concussion when teammate Lamar Odom accidentally elbowed him in practice.
Formerly the world's No. 1 tennis player, Sharapova, 23, is currently ranked 18th after being sidelined due to injuries the past two years.
