Gracing the cover of Men's Health magazine this week, a new, leaner Luka Doncic has emerged. After concerns over his weight and conditioning have surrounded him for years, Doncic took on a different approach to his training and conditioning this summer. He's taken up intermittent fasting and a high protein diet, gone gluten free, and has been on an intense workout regiment that even involved not playing basketball for an entire month.
Even as Doncic racked up All-Star appearances, All-NBA first team honors and led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals in 2024, he couldn't escape the concerns over his physique and conditioning. It all came to a head last February, when the Mavericks made the unthinkable decision to trade Doncic to the Lakers while reports suggested that frustrations over his training habits were a big reason why Dallas would ship their superstar.
