Luka Doncic appears to have let himself go following his appearance in the NBA Finals last season.

The Dallas Mavericks star found himself one step closer to that elusive championship earlier this year but was ousted by the Boston Celtics, whose young superstars ensured he would have to wait at least another year.

The Slovenian was back in action on Saturday night as he joined the likes of Nikola Jokic and other NBA players for Goran Dragic’s farewell game in their home country. Luka appeared to be several sizes larger before tip-off.

An account posting a clip of the All-Star point guard joked he looked like he swapped bodies with Jokic.

Check it out below:

Of course, fans had a lot to say.

“Doncic diets like he plays defense, which makes him the blow-by king,” one wrote. “That’s why he’ll always be overrated no matter how good he is offensively. He was the target of the Celtics virtually every play down court during the playoffs. Easy wins when they did that.

“51 yr old Steve Nash in better shape than my favourite player bro. 😭,” another claimed.

“He borrowing that fat suit from Harden’s closet,” someone quipped.

“dad bod,” a comment read.

“Dude.. he has so much body fat for an NBA PG this is actually crazy,” another read.

“NGL, dude better get that conditioning program going asap,” someone advised.

Another video showed him running down the court for an uncontested layup, and he didn’t look any smaller.

A Storied Western Conference Franchise Is Reportedly Keen On Signing Luka Doncic

There’s still time for the Mavs star to introduce “Skinny Luka,” as he’s known to do in the offseason. But it does appear that he has his work cut out for him.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in making Luca Doncic the new face of their franchise after LeBron James retires.

That’s according to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, who claims the Lakers have plans to make a play for him in the future.

Dallas Cowboys Set The NFL On Fireworks By Dealing QB Dak Prescott To Longtime AFC Rival In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

The Dallas Cowboys kick off their 2024 NFL campaign in 15 days, and Jerry Jones still hasn’t extended quarterback Dak Prescott or wide receiver CeeDee Lamb as they head into their contract years.

Dak Prescott has one year remaining on the four-year, $160 million extension he signed with Dallas in the 2021 offseason, while the 25-year-old CeeDee Lamb is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal.

Some fans have started to wonder if Jones would be open to trading Prescott and Lamb. Of course, his preference is to keep both of them, but what if the Cowboys owner received an offer for his star quarterback that he can’t refuse?

The scenario seems crazy at first, but it’s not. What if Jones traded Prescott, punted on 2024 and set himself up to tank and draft a new franchise quarterback in Georgia’s Carson Beck, Texas’ Quinn Ewers or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders next year?

One team that makes perfect sense for Dak Prescott is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who haven’t had an above-average quarterback play since Ben Roethlisberger’s last healthy season way-back-when in 2018.
