Luka Doncic's impressive physical transformation ahead of the World Cup

Luka Doncic’s physical condition has always been a subject of ongoing debate. In reality, it hasn’t hindered his performances, as he has had few fitness issues despite carrying a heavy workload, averaging 36.2 minutes per game in the NBA for the Dallas Mavericks.

Ahead of the new season, Doncic seems determined to put that situation to rest and will arrive at the 2023 World Cup in Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines in a shape that he hadn’t typically shown in his early months.

Doncic is currently practicing with the Slovenian national team after the mandatory rest period set by the NBA and participated in his first training session with his teammates in Ljubljana.

He appears more focused than ever, ready to lead a team that aims to dominate their group in Japan, where they will face Georgia, Cape Verde and Venezuela.

The transformation in Doncic‘s appearance is the result of an intense and groundbreaking preparation compared to his past routine.

Slovenian media, such as Siol, report that he changed his plan, engaging in two daily training sessions in Ljubljana, spending his mornings with his fitness coach, Anet Mako, and afternoons in the gym.

As expected, all eyes are on Doncic, who is expected to be named team captain in the coming days.

Additionally, the Dallas Mavericks are closely following his progress. In fact, the team’s head coach, Jason Kidd, is currently in Ljubljana supervising his training sessions.
