Luka Dončić is showing off a slimmer physique, giving new meaning to the term “revenge body.” The Los Angeles Lakers star was photographed at a Real Madrid game this past week, and fans couldn’t help but notice that Dončić looked noticeably more fit—just weeks into the Lakers’ offseason.
The 26-year-old Dončić is no stranger to criticism about his fitness and weight. The Slovenian superstar made headlines in February when the Dallas Mavericks surprisingly traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for big man Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick. The trade left Mavericks fans stunned, and rumors swirled that Dončić’s physical condition played a role in Mavericks GM Nick Harrison’s willingness to move him.
LeBron James, known for his disciplined, year-round fitness regimen, welcomed his heir apparent with open arms. LeBron’s influence appears to be paying off. Just a few weeks into the Lakers’ offseason, Dončić is already looking leaner and healthier. He may have been heartbroken over the surprise trade, but now he’s flaunting his revenge body—and Mavericks fans aren’t thrilled.
Lakers fans, however, are loving Luka’s new look.
