Personal life

Gill was born October 17, 1992, to Sandi Summers and Anthony Gill. He has a brother named Daxton and two sisters named Nichole and Kaytlyn. Gill was born with nerve damage, resulting in the temporary paralysis of the right side of his face.

Although rarely a starter in the NBA, Gill is known as a consummate teammate and positive influence on the team, particularly the younger players. "You could write a book on how great of a teammate Anthony Gill is", Wizards coach Brian Keefe said in January, 2025.

Off the court, Gill has a reputation of being a prankster. He often makes up stories during interviews, such as owning a two-headed Siamese cat and being a magician in his free time.
