Luka Doncic credits his new physique to nutrition and training

Independent29-07-2025
Lakers star Luka Doncic has unveiled a significantly more muscular physique, which he attributes to an intense training and diet regimen during the off-season.
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.

Fan who threw sex toy faces multiple charges

August 5 - The spectator accused of throwing a sex toy onto the floor of a WNBA game last week in College Park, Ga., faces multiple criminal charges. College Park police arrested Delbert Carver, 23, on Saturday, and he was released from Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro, Ga., a day later on bond, according to multiple media reports on Monday. Carver is reportedly charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure, and criminal trespass. The case is considered "pending" with a court date yet to be established. In the Atlanta Dream's 77-75 loss to the Golden State Valkyries on July 29, a sex toy was tossed onto the court during game action. Play wasn't impacted before the object was removed. The WNBA said in a statement, "The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans. In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities." A similar incident occurred in another Valkyries road game on Friday, a 73-66 victory over the Chicago Sky. No arrests were made in relation to that occurrence, and Chicago police told ESPN on Monday, "We don't see a call of service for that incident." --Field Level Media

Jarren Duran, Brayan Bello lead streaking Red Sox over Royals

August 5 - Jarren Duran hit a three-run home run and the Boston Red Sox extended their winning streak to six games by beating the visiting Kansas City Royals 8-5 Monday night. Duran's home run, his 12th of the season, came against Royals starting pitcher Bailey Falter (7-6), who was making his Kansas City debut after being acquired from Pittsburgh. Falter gave up seven runs on eight hits in four innings. He struck out two batters and walked one. The Red Sox received a strong pitching performance from Brayan Bello, who limited the Royals to one run on six hits in six innings. Bello (8-5) struck out five and walked one. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth to earn his 21st save. Romy Gonzalez, Alex Bregman and Wilyer Abreu -- the first three hitters in Boston's batting order -- each collected two hits in the win. Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia hit solo home runs for the Royals, who received two-hit performances from Garcia, Bobby Witt Jr. and Mike Yastrzemski. Boston's Roman Anthony was a late scratch with what the team called back tightness. Abreu replaced Anthony in right field and hit third. The Red Sox took a 5-0 lead in the first inning, which included a two-run single from Rob Refsnyder before Duran hit his three-run homer. Refsnyder's single extended his hitting streak to five games. Falter threw 38 pitches in the inning. Boston stretched its lead to 6-0 when Ceddanne Rafaela's single drove in Trevor Story in the third. It was 6-1 after Salvador Perez scored on Adam Frazier's sacrifice fly in the fourth, but Boston added a run in the bottom half of the inning. Abraham Toro scored on Alex Bregman's two-out single. Boston led 8-1 after Abreu drove in Gonzalez in the seventh. Kansas City kept things interesting by scoring four runs in the eighth. The home runs by Pasquantino and Garcia cut Boston's lead to 8-3. Frazier added an RBI single that drove in Yastrzemski before scoring on Nick Loftin's double to make it 8-5. The eighth inning ended when Abreu threw out Loftin at home as he attempted to score on Witt's single. --Field Level Media
