Luka Doncic is one of the best NBA players today, yet many fans and analysts have previously criticized his body shape. While he is far from being overweight, a lot of people believe that the Dallas Mavericks superstar could get in much better shape. It seems that Doncic has decided to respond to his critics in the best way possible. The latest pictures of him have surprised many basketball fans. The 24-year-old star looks much leaner, which is why many have praised his offseason workout. The 6-foot-7 guard weighed approximately 260 pounds during the training camp last season. However, it looks like he lost at least 20 pounds, and is much closer to his listed weight of 230 pounds. Basketball fans praise Luka Doncic for his offseason workout Despite not having an ideal weight, Luka Doncic was fantastic in the 2022-23 season. He appeared in 66 games, averaging a career-high 32.4 points per game. The Dallas Mavericks superstar was the league's second-best scorer, after Joel Embiid. Considering how amazing he was last season, fans can only imagine how good he will be in the 2023-24 campaign.
