Luka Doncic credits his new physique to nutrition and training
His transformation was showcased in a Men's Health cover story, where he discussed his commitment to a gluten-free, low-sugar diet and two daily workouts.
Fans have reacted enthusiastically to Doncic's new look, widely dubbing it a 'revenge body' following his trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in February.
The trade, which saw Anthony Davis move to the Mavericks, reportedly stemmed from concerns within the Mavericks organization about Doncic's weight and conditioning.
Despite fan backlash, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison defended his decision to trade Doncic, stating he had 'no regrets' and that the move was in the team's best interest.

Las Vegas Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr breaks his leg after brutal collision with Maxx Crosby in practice
Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. broke his right leg during a mock game in Las Vegas practice on Saturday, according to multiple reports. Johnson, 29, was carted off the field after colliding brutally with defensive end Maxx Crosby while attempting to tackle running back Raheem Mostert. The six-year pro will reportedly undergo an MRI exam to determine if there is any additional damage. Depending on the severity of the injury, including if surgery is required, recovery could range anywhere from 10 weeks to six months. After his suffering the devastating injury, he took to X on Saturday and wrote: 'Imma soldier [on] chin up chest out - God got me'. Johnson signed as a free agent with Las Vegas this year after playing last season in Carolina, putting pen to paper on a one-year contract. He started once for the Panthers and played in 15 games, making seven tackles. #Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. left the team's mock game on a cart. Competing to be a starter, the six-season veteran who signed with Las Vegas this offseason had his ankle rolled up on by Maxx Crosby on this play. — Nick Walters (@nickwalt) August 2, 2025 The former Kentucky college star has also played for the New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, racking up 20 career starts with 199 tackles, 15 passes defended and four interceptions over the course of his career.

The Raiders, who are co-owned by legendary quarterback Tom Brady, play their first preseason game on Thursday August 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. After more preseason outings against the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals, they begin the 2025 NFL season away to the New England Patriots. Home fixtures against the Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears, as well as road trips to the Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts, make up their first five games of the year. Ahead of the new season, Brady was seen mingling with Raiders players - including star tight end Brock Bowers - in a shock appearance at training camp this week. It was his first public appearance at practice since NFL owners last year approved his bid to become a minority owner in the team. Brady and his partner Tom Wagner own 10 percent of the Raiders, with the seven-time Super Bowl winner holding a 5 percent stake in the franchise.

Six-run inning helps Red Sox complete sweep of Astros

Boston received an RBI single from Trevor Story, an RBI single from Ceddanne Rafaela, a sacrifice fly from Connor Wong and a RBI groundout from Rob Refsnyder in the inning. Wilyer Abreu was also credited with an RBI when Valdez couldn't handle his bunt and Rafaela scored. Abreu reached first on the play. Rafaela collected three of Boston's eight hits in the win.
