Luka Doncic's weight and conditioning have been a hot topic ever since the Slovenian wunderkind entered the NBA. According to Tim MacMahon, Doncic met the NBA season weighing almost 120 kilograms for the second consecutive year.

With the Dallas Mavericks losing more matches in recent weeks, Doncic's weight topic was brought back even during the NBA on TNT post-game show.

Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, who currently works as an analyst on the show, criticized Doncic, claiming he was "plodding up and down the court" and "has got to trim down."

Although he's listed at 230 lbs (104 kilos), MacMahon on The Lowe Post podcast said that Doncic reported in at 260+ lbs (117+ kilos) this season.

"I had a long summer," the superstar said. "I had the Olympics, took three weeks off, and I relaxed a little bit. Maybe too much. I've just got to get back on track."

"I know I've got to do better," Doncic added.

Doncic is the leader of a struggling Mavericks team, averaging 25.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8.5 assists. After losing to the Brooklyn Nets, the Mavs head to Memphis to play against the Grizzlies on Thursday.
