Nikola Jokic isn’t the only NBA player who’s changing his body while waiting for basketball to return.
It appears Toronto Raptors big man Marc Gasol has done the same.
Gasol weighed in at 255 pounds this season, but — like Jokic — a slimmed-down version of the vet is making the rounds, and the before-and-after is pretty jaw-dropping.
Before we get to that, we knew this was coming. Per the CBC, Raps head coach Nick Nurse recently said “Gasol’s face has looked slim on Zoom calls.”
So here’s the photo of Gasol that’s going viral due to what appears to be his new look:

Gasol missed 15 games in the middle of the season due to a hamstring injury. He returned on March 8, just days before the NBA shut down.
