NBA Star Luka Dončić’s Secret Weapon? Pickleball! And You Can Play It Too at Sawmill Sports Hub!
When you think of an NBA superstar’s offseason training, you might picture endless hours on the basketball court or in the weight room. But for Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić, a surprising new element has been key to his recent physique transformation: pickleball!
After facing criticism for being out of shape last season, Dončić has dedicated his offseason to fitness, and in a recent Men’s Health story, he revealed pickleball as a significant part of his turnaround. He’s found that the fast-paced, low-impact nature of pickleball (and padel) challenges new muscles, takes pressure off his knees, and strengthens his adductors, glutes, and ankles through dynamic footwork. He even admitted that these new games reignited a competitive fire from his childhood, long before basketball became his primary focus.
It’s clear that pickleball offers a fantastic, full-body workout that’s not only effective but also incredibly fun and engaging. If a professional athlete like Luka Dončić can use it to get in peak condition, imagine what it can do for you!
