Nikola Jokic Used To Drink Three Liters Of Coke Per Day

Before his days in the NBA, Nikola Jokic used to drink three liters of Coke per day. This is not an exaggeration as his diet before the Denver Nuggets was rough.

In ESPN’s Baxter Holmes article detailing the one-time champ, he revealed that after Denver drafted him, he spent a month at P3 Applied Sports Science in Santa Barbara.

For those that don’t know, P3 Applied Sports Science is a place where athletes go to get the correcting dieting and training to become their best selves for any sport. They have biomechanists, data scientists, psychical therapists, and strength coaches helping athletes. Plus, P3 is known to use advanced technologies to help athletes.

This is why Jokic went to them, his basketball was fine, but his body was not. The Joker revamped his diet, dropped the Coke habit, and started to form into the player we all know and love.

Jokic even admitted that while his basketball game was good, he needed to work on his body seriously.

Pelicans Fearful Zion Williamson (Hamstring) Will Miss More Time

According to the team, the New Orlean Pelicans are bracing for the reality of Zion Williamson being out for more than his scheduled timeline.

Originally, the 24-year-old was set to return in four to six weeks, however, multiple treatments have not allowed him to properly recover. This has caused him to be no where near playing shape.

Williamson has been out since November 6th, which has caused him to play in only six of the seventeen available games.

Zion appeared in a career-high 70 games last season. He’s only played in 190 career games since entering the league in 2019.
