Doncic’s physique was the subject of much speculation this past offseason when an article in Men’s Health showed the former Mavericks star in what appeared to be the best shape of his career.
Doncic appears to have put on a few pounds since then, but overall he’s moving a little faster than he did after arriving with the Lakers last season, when he often fell in a series of close playoff games in their first-round loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Meanwhile, the Lakers as a whole have played well this season, currently 27-17 heading into the NBA trade deadline. It will be interesting to see what Rob Pelinka and company decide to do at that time, given that the team doesn’t have many mobile contracts on their roster.
Either way, the Lakers next take the court on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. Meanwhile, the NBA trade deadline is February 5th.
