Someone is lying about Cavaliers forward Mario Hezonja's wild body transformation

Mario Hezonja, a forward who played in the EuroLeague for six years, is set to return to the NBA with the Cavaliers in the 2026-27 season. Fans remember his shot-making abilities, trash-talking skills, and a lean frame during his initial NBA tenure. However, Hezonja has undergone a significant transformation, adding mass ahead of his return.

He claims to be 70 pounds heavier and three inches taller than when he first entered the league, measuring 6-9 and 260 pounds. This has raised questions about the authenticity of his body transformation, with some doubting the extent of his weight gain and height increase. Despite these doubts, Hezonja attributes his new physique to relentless hard work and an unyielding hunger for improvement.

Hezonja's height is particularly contentious, as the NBA's official draft records list him as standing 6-8 and weighing 218 pounds during his rookie season, a difference from his current measurements.
