Overview

• The Los Angeles Lakers’ official training camp roster lists Dončić at 6'7" and 244 pounds, up from last season’s Mavericks listing of 230.
• ESPN reporting from 2021 said unnamed sources believed Dončić reported to camp above 260 pounds despite a 230-pound listing in Dallas.
• Dončić’s offseason included extensive strength work, a viral 720-pound lift video, a Men’s Health feature on his regimen, and a EuroBasket run with Slovenia.
• Fans and media are debating whether the new number reflects added muscle, previously underreported weight in Dallas, or a routine roster update quirk.
• LeBron James publicly praised Dončić’s conditioning gains and said he looks and feels better heading into the Lakers’ first full season with him as centerpiece.
