The muscle lines are obvious, Doncic loses weight significantly! After being eliminated in the first round, he practices two days a day and has a third place in MVP odds

The muscle lines are obvious, Doncic loses weight significantly! After being eliminated in the first round, Doncic has practiced twice a day since the offseason, and his odds have risen to third place in the latest MVP list.

Doncic lost weight significantly

Since entering the NBA, Doncic's weight management has always been one of the hot topics. After being sent to the Lakers by the Mavericks last season, the popularity of this topic reached its peak.

Firstly, Doncic suddenly shocked and surprised without being told, and secondly, ESPN followed up and pointed out that the reason why the Mavericks sent Doncic, who was 26, was mainly worried about the latter's physical condition.

When sent to the Lakers, Doncic had reached 270 pounds (about 245 pounds), coupled with defensive attitude issues and potential super contracts, which eventually prompted the Mavericks to send him away. After joining the Lakers, Doncic's bloated figure and poor defensive performance can also indirectly confirm this statement.

The Lakers management is obviously very worried about this. After being eliminated in the playoffs, coach Redick even publicly hinted that Doncic's physical condition did not reach the championship level.

Faced with a huge amount of criticism, Doncic also responded with actions during the offseason. Doncic, who is preparing for the European Championship, recently accepted an exclusive interview with Menshealth. During this period, he talked about the body management issues that the outside world is most concerned about. It is not difficult to see from the comparison picture that Doncic has completed a significant weight loss.

Practicing for two days and not stopping

During the interview, Doncic said that on the second day after he was eliminated in the playoffs, he called his agent and told him to formulate a training plan as soon as possible.

"I would have worked hard to train something different in the offseason, but this summer is obviously different, which motivated me to be better," Doncic said.

Since June, Doncic has practiced 6 times a week and two days a day, and has been persisting until now. During this period, he will complete 90 minutes of high-intensity morning exercises first, and there will be almost no breathing time after training. He will eat his first meal after training.

While actively implementing rigorous and meticulous training plans, Doncic's diet is also strictly controlled. His team formulated an intermittent fasting plan to suppress inflammation and promote physical recovery.

Doncic only eats two meals a day, sticks to a gluten-free, low-sugar diet, and consumes at least 250 grams of protein and a cup of almond milk protein shake a day.

try to crush doubts

Doncic said bluntly that since he entered the NBA at the age of 18, he had no idea what he wanted in the first 4 or 5 years.

Until this summer he began to usher in new motivation, thinking it was time for him to do something, and he hoped to work ahead to ensure his dominance in the next 10 years, and to shut up those who criticize his physical fitness and weight.

He wants to be a better self, continue to train, continue to move forward, and will not stop because of his improvement in body shape, because that will waste all his efforts. During the period, Doncic also talked about his athletic ability and bounce. He bluntly said that his bounce was not top-notch, but bounce was not the only talent. He had strong athletic ability in other aspects, such as balance ability and emergency stop ability.

Doncic's physiotherapist Javier Barrio also gave the same statement, saying that Doncic's leg strength is explosive, allowing him to control his center of gravity and speed changes.

In addition, Javier Barrio said that the reason Doncic suffered from injuries in the 24-25 season was actually because he was too tired last summer, and this summer's goal was to completely recover from fatigue.

rose to third place in the MVP list

Facing Doncic who has successfully lost weight, the US media is also very optimistic about his performance in the new season. After all, Doncic is the top five super giant in the league before losing weight.

Therefore, in the latest MVP list released by the US media, Doncic has risen to third place, second only to Jokic and Alexander.

Lakers media also forwarded several training photos of Doncic and wrote: "Doncic will become the 2026 MVP."
