It’s news that has Lakers fans smiling in recent days: Luka Doncic seems determined to lose weight. The Lakers are going to accompany him on this journey, all the way to Europe. They have made a major decision with their point guard.
When Luka Doncic is in top form, the entire NBA microcosm agrees that he is one of the best players on the planet, with the talent to become MVP and lead a team to the title. On the other hand, as soon as he hits a slump, endless debates about his weight take place in the media and on social networks.
If his latest public appearance in Madrid is anything to go by, he seems to have taken the problem in his stride, having already lost a few kilos since the Lakers’ elimination in the first round of the playoffs. Slovenian journalists explain that Luka has changed his diet and training program to regain the shape of his younger years.
Luka Doncic at the Euro with Slovenia!
And what better way to get the new season off to a flying start than to get back into action earlier than everyone else? While the Euro is generally shunned by the NBA’s big European stars, the Lakers’ point guard is set to take part with Slovenia. The president of the federation has just announced this, and he won’t be making the trip alone. He’s one more medal contender. BasketNews reports:
Matej Erjavec, President of the Slovenian Basketball Federation, confirms Luka Doncic’s presence at the Euro. There were doubts, however, as to whether the Lakers would be as cooperative as the Mavericks could be. But Luka’s father, Sasa, quickly got in touch with Lakers management to negotiate the terms of Luka’s participation. Everything went off without a hitch.
According to Erjavec, the conversation with Rob Pelinka lasted two minutes at most. The franchise understands Luka’s desire to represent his country and encourages him greatly. According to the president of the federation, the Lakers will even make a staff member available to join the Slovenian squad. It’s likely to be the physical trainer.
Luka Doncic wants to get back into top form for next season, and the Lakers are ready to help him do just that. They’re going to allow him to take part in the Euro with Slovenia, which ensures that the point guard will be back in training soon enough, and above all they’re going to have him monitored by the franchise’s physical trainer. Nothing will be left to chance.
