He needed the rest and im glad he got it. Looks fit and knee looks well rested now.

[@13rizzlian]

How many weeks till bloody knees again

[@memeguy0076]

@13rizzlian he got bloody knees from some contact and his scab didnt heal. When he was injured in playoffs it was because of a knee sprain

[@PeterParker-qj3lb]

Hope he’s healthy come playoff time! By then everyone he banged up. What we know is Luka ball’s regardless lol

[@PeterParker-qj3lb]

@@memeguy0076think he was getting injections in his knee before games.

We do not have interviews with Luka, thank you DLLS.

luka is so adorable

[@B-------D]

BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!!!

[@SDesWriter]

Maybe now people will shut up with the fat comments. He looks in really good shape and he’s healthy which is all you can ask from the guy.

[@cvgodd1432]

Dude is the only player I’ve ever seen who gains weight during the season 😂.

[@Mr.Trivial]

I still think he's carrying a few extra pounds. I'd like to see him get in shape like Giannis.

[@kheok2841]

he kind of looks he's carrying extra 10 pounds of fat for NBA fitness standards. But maybe it's his ideal weight

[@edwinblack-rw5xk]

Needs to get leaner. Still not in the best shape he can be

[@SDesWriter]

@@edwinblack-rw5xk Oh shut up. #1 in scoring, #2 in assists, #10 in rebounds and you're whining about how much he weighs? Remind me your most important contribution to society?

People seem to underestimate how injured Luka was during the Playoffs run

[@seanzibonanzi64]

I could be wrong but Luka looks like he's thinned down a bit in the offseason.

[@AveChristusRex789]

We all say that til the season starts

[@cvgodd1432]

He was thin to start the season last year. Then he gains weight during the season some how. 😂idk how that’s possible. His calorie intake must be insane!

[@johncrabtree8857]

He's alot thinner just look at his face

[@brando_05]

​@cvgodd1432 My guess is the diet here in Texas vs. Slovenia. The BBQ on top of the fast food can fatten you up 😂

[@cryptidian3530]

@@cvgodd1432 He probably thinks he can get away with it and he does it seems. He wasn't fatigued last year, just had some unfortunate contact injuries towards the end of the season and in the playoffs. But outside of that, he was a Rockstar when it came to stamina.

Ive never seen one player get weight watched so much.

You many not remember Oliver Miller.

Zion too

@@Mr.Trivialhe probably don't even remember James Harden or Raymond Felton at this rate.

[@scottipippen6935]

There is a long list of players who came before him..from Shaq, Sir Charles to Zion

[@cryptidian3530]

@@tomschrader8086 Zion deserved the criticism because his weight was what kept him from actually playing. Luka has been a soldier every year, playing through minor injuries and even played 70 games last year. I doubt Zion is ever playing 70 games in a season.

Last season good? Hell yes!!!

"I forgot English" lmfao

Handsome doom Luka doncic Austin Reaves 🤤

[@DebasedAnon]

People that are going "he looks like he lost a lot of weight that's great!" and people going "maybe now people will shut up about it" are playing into a really stupid narrative. Luka uses his weight as a strength in order to knock people off of him and create space, its the reason why every season he comes in "thin" and then becomes "fat" yet puts up historic numbers. Weight isn't a problem for him at all, he realised he can't blow by people with athleticism so he uses weight instead because nobody outside of centers is gonna consistently overpower him in that regard. This is completely opposite of Zion who's entire game is built around athleticism and his weight keeps him from being as athletic AND keeps racking up injuries for him.

[@arjunadan3812]

I forgot english...😂🎉

That'll be good too 😂😂
