Doncic has been \u201cincredibly committed\u201d to his fitness and has already dropped significant weight since the start of the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Doncic has spent a month away from on-court work to focus instead on his fitness and his body.

If he is seriously committed to his conditioning, it will go a long way in proving the Lakers right in making that trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luka Doncic appears to have gotten the message about the importance of his fitness routine.
