After he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 1, Luka Doncic received a lot of criticism for being out of shape and not taking care of his fitness and conditioning. He still put up his usual outstanding numbers, but his ability to get up and down the court and stay in front of his man defensively was noticeably compromised.
So far this offseason, there has been plenty of talk about how Doncic has apparently gotten in much better shape. He was seen several weeks ago looking noticeably slimmer, and according to one report, he has been “incredibly committed” to his health and conditioning.

There is a new video of the Slovenian superstar on social media where he casually hits a halfcourt shot in an open gym, and people have noticed how slim and fit he looks.
Lakers fans on X (formerly Twitter) are looking forward to a new and improved version of Doncic.
Doncic is currently preparing to represent Slovenia in the upcoming EuroBasket tournament, which will start late in August and run through mid-September. While Brian Windhorst reported that Doncic may wait until afterward to sign a contract extension with the Lakers, a new report indicated that the superstar may get that extension done in early August before the tournament starts.
