Luka Doncic’s offseason transformation has caught the attention of NBA followers, as recent photos reveal just how shredded he has become. Now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers after his midseason trade from the Dallas Mavericks, Doncic has committed to a rigorous fitness and nutrition regimen, entering the upcoming season in noticeably improved shape.
From Struggles Last Season to a Renewed Focus with the Lakers
The 26-year-old star ended last season appearing fatigued during the first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Since joining the Lakers, he has adopted new workout routines and dieting strategies designed to enhance his endurance and overall performance on the court. Despite these physical changes, he continues to consistently make difficult shots, showcasing his signature skill.
Alongside this intense personal development, there have been reports of tension involving fellow Lakers superstar LeBron James regarding the team’s future. However, Doncic has remained concentrated on his own growth. Notably, he attended Michael Jordan’s prestigious “Board of Greatness” event in Greece, where he was photographed next to the NBA legend.

New Photos Reveal Doncic’s Leaner Physique and Ongoing Dedication
In a recent Men’s Health photoshoot, Luka Doncic appeared significantly leaner while maintaining impressive muscle definition, a clear sign of his offseason commitment. He spoke at length about his transformation in the Men’s Health feature, emphasizing his goal to
“be the best that I can be”
and the importance of taking care of himself.
“This year, with my team, I think we did a huge step. But this is just the start, you know. I need to keep going. Can’t stop,”
he said, signaling his determination to continue improving his physical condition and game.
Implications for the Lakers and the NBA Season Ahead
Last season, Doncic weighed around 230 pounds while still averaging 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game. His leaner, more shredded frame suggests he may enter the new season with enhanced stamina and agility, which could elevate his impact on the court. Lakers fans are eager to see this revamped version of Doncic, while opponents across the league may find their challenges increasing.
This transformation comes at a critical moment for the Lakers as they aim to build a strong contender for the NBA championship. Doncic’s improved fitness and relentless work ethic could prove crucial in helping the team advance deeper into the playoffs next season.
