He averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 28 regular-season games and 30.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the playoffs for the Purple and Gold.

He has reportedly turned to the franchise's cornerstone. He has been invited to private dinners, involved in ownership discussions and was told ahead of LeBron James of the team's June 18 sale.

Luka Doncic has battled with fluctuating weight issues. The issue was reportedly a point of concern during his time at Dallas. However, he has embarked on a high-profile offseason transformation as revaled in new photos on social media.

Reports have indicated that he dropped from around 270 lb to 235 lb by May. He has reportedly adopted a healthier eating habit involving lean proteins, whole grains and veggies, alongside HIIT, strength training and yoga.

He has been praised by NFL legends Shannon Sharpe and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson from Nightcap. They commended his leaner look but emphasized that performance in the upcoming season will be the true test.
