The Los Angeles Lakers are delighted to have Luka Doncic, but even the most diehard fan admits the superstar can get better in certain ways.
Some people have repeatedly called out Doncic for not staying in great shape, especially during the offseason.
They have said he lets his body go in the summer, and that has to change.
A new video shared by Hoop Central on X showcases Doncic looking slim and healthy.
Is this the version of him we should expect to see when the new season kicks off?
Luka is looking slim. 👀 💪

This is exactly what Lakers fans were hoping for.
When the team was eliminated from the playoffs in the first round, there were reports of Doncic being ready to start a new chapter.
Those reports stated that he was going to take his physical state much more seriously this summer and was looking to focus on conditioning.
It looks like that is exactly what he is doing.
Of course, Dallas Mavericks fans would remind Lakers loyalists that they have heard this all before.
This was common during his time with that team, and he remained inconsistent about his weight.
Is he really going to stick with this and stay in this shape?
Has Doncic truly turned a corner, and will he continue to focus on being in tip-top shape all season long?
The Lakers are hoping to make some changes to the roster this summer so they are in a prime position when 2025-26 begins.
Their chances are much better if Doncic is looking good, so they hope he keeps working out and staying fit in the summer.
