A radical change motivated by criticism

Dončić’s physical condition had become a major concern. The Mavericks general manager, Nico Harrison, had expressed reservations about the Slovenian player’s weight, diet, and work ethic, which contributed to his trade to the Lakers last February.

« Every summer, I try to work on different aspects of my game. I’m very competitive. This summer was just a bit different. It motivated me to be even better. Visually, I’d say my whole body looks better, » Dončić told Men’s Health magazine, where he appears on the cover.

The 26-year-old player implemented a drastic program in Croatia, with twice-daily training sessions and a gluten-free, low-sugar diet, including 250 grams of protein and a daily almond milk shake.

Renewed ambitions for the Lakers

This physical transformation comes at the perfect time for Dončić, who wants to erase the disappointment of the first-round playoff elimination against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite this early exit, the Slovenian maintained impressive statistics with averages of 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in the playoffs.

« I’m really grateful to the Lakers organization, my teammates, and the fans for welcoming me and my family with so much support and kindness since day one, » Dončić stated after signing his extension. « I will continue to work as hard as possible to bring another championship to Los Angeles and make Laker Nation proud. This is just the beginning. »

With career averages of 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.2 assists, Dončić ranks third in NBA history for points per game, behind Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. His new physique and renewed motivation could well propel the Lakers to new heights next season.
