Motivated by the recent muon g-2 data, we study the lepton flavor violating (LFV) l{yields}l{sup '}{gamma} and Z{yields}ll{sup '} (l, l{sup '}=e, {mu}, {tau} decays with l{ne}l{sup '}) in a scalar leptoquark model. Leptoquarks can produce sizable LFV l{yields}l{sup '}{gamma} decay rates that can be easily reached by present or near future experiments. Leptoquark masses and couplings are constrained by the muon g-2 data and the current l{yields}l{sup '}{gamma} bounds. We predict Br(Z{yields}{tau}{sup {+-}}e{sup {+-}}) reaching the present limit (10{sup -5}) and Br(Z{yields}{mu}{sup {+-}}{tau}{sup {+-}}) reaching 2x10{sup -8}, which will be accessible by future linear colliders, whereas, the current bounds on LFV impose very strong constraints on the Br(Z{yields}{mu}{sup {+-}}e{sup {+-}}) and the ratio is too low to be observed in the near future.
