“Chicken and rice and vegetables is the most popular [with me] because I don’t eat a lot of seafood,” Doncic said of his new habits. “Mostly just eating healthier. … That was the key to be here.”
His physical improvement has helped him avoid major injury issues — and heal nagging ailments faster than he recovered from the left knee and ankle sprains that lingered after he first suffered them Nov. 15.
He hasn’t missed a game since Jan. 7 and his presence and production has positioned the Mavericks to push for home-court advantage after the All-Star break.

Before the season, he talked with the Mavericks’ front office leaders about the possibility of adding veteran point guard Goran Dragic to the team as a backup ball handler.
Doncic was all for it.
He’s known Dragic since he was 5 years old, when Dragic and Sasa played on the same KD Slovan team and 5-year-old Luka would tag along to shoot hoops during halftime.
“My father was his mentor,” Doncic said.
The Mavericks could arrange a reunion now that Dragic has reportedly agreed to a contract buyout with the Spurs to become a mid-season free agent. But general manager Nico Harrison said after the trade deadline he didn’t plan to make another roster move.
Doncic hasn’t pushed any more for his fellow Slovenian to join him — yet.
“He’s my guy,” Doncic said. “Everybody would want their guys on their team, so we’ll see.”
