Los Angeles, USA – Los Angeles Lakers All-Star guard Luka Doncic has undergone a significant and noticeable body transformation this offseason, a change highlighted in a recent profile by Men’s Health magazine. His visibly slimmer physique and increased muscle definition mark a dedicated commitment to fitness, addressing concerns that had surfaced regarding his conditioning following his February trade to the Lakers.
A Commitment to Self-Improvement
Doncic, typically listed at 6-foot-6-inch and 230 pounds, has attributed his physical changes to a revamped diet and an intensive fitness program. His new regimen includes avoiding gluten, minimizing sugar intake, and increasing protein consumption, all designed to fuel multiple daily workouts comprising weightlifting and on-court drills.
The Slovenian superstar articulated his drive for continuous self-improvement, emphasizing that his recent progress is just the beginning. “Obviously, be the best that I can be, take care of myself,” Doncic stated in his Men’s Health interview. “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 further added that this particular summer offered a unique motivation. “So every summer, I try my best to work on different things. Obviously, I’m very competitive. This summer was just a little bit different, you know. It kind of motivated me to be even better,” he shared.
Preparing for EuroBasket and the NBA Season
While his exact current weight was not specified, the photographs accompanying the Men’s Health feature clearly illustrate his leaner and more defined physique. Doncic’s training initially focused on general fitness before he returned to on-court activities in June. This rigorous offseason preparation is not only for the upcoming NBA season but also for his commitment to play for Slovenia in EuroBasket, scheduled for August. The visible transformation signals a focused and determined Luka Doncic ready to lead the Lakers and his national team.
