Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Dončić recently talked about his physical condition in an interview and said that his body has become better through strict training and diet.

The 26-year-old Luka Doncic was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in February. Luka Doncic, who has been plagued by injuries, played 28 games for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2024/25 NBA regular season, averaging 28.2 points per game, 43.8% shooting percentage and 37.9% three-point shooting percentage.

However, Luka Doncic has been criticized for his weight and physical fitness.

Luka Doncic said in an interview, “From an appearance point of view, I would say that my whole body looks better. I work hard to improve in some aspects every summer. I am a very competitive person. But the situation this summer is a little different, but all of this is motivating me to get better.”

"This year, I feel like my team and I have taken a big step forward, but this is just the beginning. I have to keep moving forward and not stop."

In addition, Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson posted on social media, "I admire Luka Doncic for changing his physical condition to show his teammates his determination to win the championship with the Los Angeles Lakers."

"When a player comes to Los Angeles and completely transforms his body, you know he's not just saying he wants to win, he's walking the walk. That's what really sets the tone in the locker room and lets his teammates know it's time to go for a championship together."
