NC State Hoops Hero DJ Burns Denies Using Ozempic After Losing 45 Pounds

Ozempic continues to dominate the headlines.

DJ Burns also made headlines in March when he propelled the NC State Wolfpack to the Final Four, only to fall to Purdue in a closely contested national semifinal in Arizona.

Now, the 23-year-old forward is gearing up for the NBA draft, having notably shed 45 pounds over the last six months. Burns has been actively sharing clips of his rigorous workout regimen on social media, showcasing his dedication in the gym and on the court as he prepares to elevate his game to the professional level.

He made sure to let everyone know he lost the weight through hard work, not by using the weight-loss drug Ozempic.
