Luka Doncic is currently the skinniest he has ever been as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.
Throughout his entire NBA run, Doncic has frequently battled weight issues.
Sometimes they were the byproduct of his own poor habits, other times bad luck and injuries were to blame. But the problem consistently remained the same.
Even Mavs owner Mark Cuban acknowledged that Doncic’s weight problems were an issue.
This summer, Doncic seems to have set his mind to ending the chatter about his physique once and for all. The 24-year-old is playing international ball now, and he looks the skinniest he has ever looked.

This has been a massive offseason for Doncic already. He got engaged to his longtime girlfriend. He has been partying it up and vacationing. And most importantly, he seems to be getting his mind right ahead of the 2023-24 NBA season.
It’s no secret that last year’s Mavs squad was a huge disappointment. A year removed from making it to the Western Conference Finals, they failed to qualify for the playoffs altogether.

That can’t happen again.
Will Doncic’s skinny new physique ensure that the Mavericks return to being one of the NBA’s best young teams? Time will tell.
