Mavs star Luka Doncic says he's in good shape and will get into even better shape before the Orlando games start on July 30.
Doncic’s Slovenian trainer, Jure Drakslar, already cleared up his “out of shape” comment that wasn't translated correctly, and now Doncic is basically doing the same thing.

Doncic was playing at an MVP level before the 2019-20 season was suspended in March. It’s good to hear that the All-Star kept his body in peak condition during the hiatus.
In 54 games for the Mavs in 2019-20 prior to Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test, Doncic was averaging 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per contest. He was also shooting 46.1 percent from the field, 31.8 percent from beyond the arc and 75.2 percent from the free-throw line.
Dallas' eight seeding games have the team taking on the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns (twice), Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers. The Mavs have already clinched a playoff spot for the 2020 postseason.
Since winning the 2011 championship over LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat, the Mavs haven't had any success in the playoffs. The franchise hasn't won a single playoff series.
With that said, Mavs fans certainly can’t wait to watch Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis make their respective playoff debuts in Orlando, Florida. Dallas has an incredibly bright future with Luka and KP leading the way for the next decade, assuming both guys stay healthy.
