Luka Doncic taking offseason workouts seriously
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

Luka Doncic’s prolonged NBA offseason is already paying dividends.

The Dallas Mavericks star posted a picture of himself with Montenegrin soccer player Nikola Jovicevic on his Instagram Story on Friday. In the photo, Doncic looked noticeably more trim than we are accustomed to seeing him.

Check it out.

That slimmed-down picture doesn’t appear to be a fluke, either. A few weeks ago, a video surfaced of Doncic going through some intense workouts, an indication that the four-time All-Star is taking his conditioning seriously this offseason.

The 24-year-old Doncic, who is officially listed at 230 pounds, has been criticized at times during his NBA career for being out of shape. Doncic himself has even admitted that he could be in better physical form.

Granted, it will take more than just better conditioning to right the ship in Dallas. You might recall that Doncic was also looking good last offseason, only for the Mavericks to have a nightmare season which saw them miss the playoffs altogether. But this is certainly a nice starting point for Doncic as he tries to get things back on track.
