Lakers’ Luka Doncic Reveals to Slovenian Media What Was ‘Hard’ About Weight Loss

It's a pretty nifty narrative. Lakers star Luka Doncic was traded by the team that drafted him, the Mavericks, back in February, and soon after, word leaks out as to why Dallas decided to send away Doncic, the superstar who had led them to the NBA Finals just a year earlier. The reason was no secret: The Mavericks were worried about Doncic's weight and conditioning and whether he could stay healthy, long-term. Within six months of the trade, he is on the cover of Men's Health magazine, svelte and strong, appearing to be in the best shape of his life.
