Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic says his summer has been “different” since he's gotten “so many days off” after the Mavs' season ended in April.
Doncic usually plays for Real Madrid during the summer, but now that's he's in the NBA on the Mavs, he gets to relax in the summer, spend time with his family and work on his game and body.
MAVS.COM: Your rookie season ended last Apr. 12 with a win over Memphis, so now you’re back in town following a long offseason by your standards. So how has the summer gone for you so far?
LUKA DONCIC: It was a different summer for me. It’s the first time I’ve had so many days off – actually, months. So it was great for me.
Doncic put on a show for the Mavs during his rookie season. He averaged 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists while shooting 42.7 percent from the field, 32.7 percent from beyond the arc and 71.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Doncic won the 2019 Rookie of the Year award. The Mavs' new franchise player has been working on getting stronger and faster this offseason. Doncic reportedly lost as much as 20 pounds. He's now back in Dallas, as training camp is approaching.
