Luka Doncic admits he has to lose weight.
\nAfter loss to the Nets, the Slovenian superstar talked about his weight issues.<\/p>\n

Per ESPN<\/a>, Doncic’s weight and conditioning were a frequent subject on the TNT broadcast of the Mavs’ 102-99 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night. Analyst Reggie Miller, a Hall of Fame shooting guard, criticized Doncic, saying he was “plodding up and down the court” and “has got to trim down.”<\/p>\n

“People are going to talk about it, yes or no,” said Doncic, who had 28 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the loss. “I know I’ve got to do better.”<\/p>\n

Sources told ESPN that Doncic reported to training camp weighing more than 260 pounds (117kg)\u00a0 for the second consecutive year. His listed weight is 230 pounds (104kg).<\/p>\n

“I had a long summer,” said Doncic, who joined the Slovenian national team’s training camp days after Dallas was eliminated from the playoffs, leading the program to a fourth-place finish in its first Olympics. “I had the Olympics, took three weeks off, and I relaxed a little bit. Maybe too much. I’ve just got to get back on track.”<\/p>\n

A two-time first-team All-NBA selection, Doncic, 22, is averaging 25.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 8.5 assists for the 11-12 Mavs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
