Luka Doncic attributes improved play to offseason conditioning
Summary

Luka Doncic discussed the positive effects of his conditioning regimen after last summer's physical transformation. Criticized for being out of shape after his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, Doncic focused on improving his diet and lost significant weight. He noted feeling less fatigued during games, which helped him enhance his defensive capabilities. Doncic's statistics reflect his success, averaging 33.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game. His season was disrupted by a hamstring strain in early April, but he has since returned to a strict diet and reportedly recovered fully, beginning training for the upcoming season.
