Doncic: I left the court for one month to lose weight. Criticism has no effect on me. Refusing to discuss matters related to renewal

On July 30, Lakers star Luca Doncic participated in an interview on the Good Morning America program. In the interview, he once again responded to this summer’s fat loss plan, his thoughts when facing criticism, and some matters about renewing the contract with the Lakers.

When the host asked Doncic: Will there be a major decision this Saturday (US time)? Are you going to sign that important contract extension with the Lakers? Anything you want to say to the fans?

Doncic: "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't want to talk about anything about contract renewal yet."

Host: What do you think of the criticism of him before? Many people think you have lost your self-discipline?

Doncic: "I think I was also an extremely outstanding basketball player at that time. No matter what others say, I always felt like a good player."

Host: How did you complete the weight reduction and shape this summer?

Doncic: "I left the basketball court for a whole month in the offseason and completely gave up basketball training. Almost all aerobic and anaerobic training. I understand that these are all for me to reach the best state. Of course, this is also the first time in my career that I haven't played for a month, but I won't forget basketball. You know, because my spirit has been on the court, and I play almost all the time in my life."

Doncic also talked about his interest in Broadway musicals, and his favorite musicals are "Youth Song and Dance" and "Mamma Mia".

According to previous reports, Doncic's weight loss plan was set early in the morning and had nothing to do with the transaction. Doncic's health management team has started planning since last summer. Unfortunately, he was delayed when he played in the finals and participated in the national team's Olympic waives. He has more time to make adjustments this summer.
