Luka Doncic sheds weight over summer after Mavericks trade him to Lakers.

Luka Doncic has undergone a significant transformation over the summer, following his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. Speculation arose that the Dallas Mavericks traded him due to concerns about his weight. However, Doncic has addressed these concerns by showcasing his new physique on the cover of Men's Health magazine.

The 26-year-old NBA star has shared details of his rigorous workout routine, which includes two daily workouts, one of which is done while fasting. Additionally, he has adopted a gluten-free, low-sugar diet, consuming 250 grams of protein daily and an almond milk-fueled shake.

Reportedly, Doncic has lost 31 pounds during this transformation. He began this journey immediately after the Lakers' playoff defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, working with his team that includes his physiotherapist, trainer, and nutritionist.

Doncic, who recently signed a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Lakers, expressed his commitment to bringing championships to Los Angeles. His future with the team has been secured, raising questions about LeBron James's future with the Lakers, as he is set to become a free agent in 2026.
