“Luka looking slim at a Real Madrid game,” the caption on the video reads.

Fans seem to think that Doncic has lost weight, with many users echoing the sentiment in the comments.

The Dallas Mavericks' decision to trade Luka Doncic this past season was rumored to be motivated by the aforementioned conditioning concerns. Doncic may have added motivation to get in great shape as a result.

There is no denying Doncic's talent. Despite dealing with injuries and a shocking trade in the 2024-25 campaign, the 26-year-old guard still recorded per game averages of 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.8 steals per outing. He also shot 45 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from beyond the arc.

The Lakers are seemingly hopeful that Doncic will be their next franchise superstar. LeBron James is 40 years old and could retire within the next couple of seasons. Luka is certainly a candidate to replace him as the face of the franchise.

For now, Luka Doncic and LeBron James are looking to work together in order to build a dominant team. Los Angeles' front office will need to make some moves (they desperately need to add center help), but this Lakers team could make some noise in the standings in the upcoming 2025-26 season.

If Luka is indeed going all in on getting in great shape then he could realistically take a big step forward next year. The primary focus will be on staying healthy, of course. When on the floor, Doncic is incredible. His issue this past season was staying healthy, though.

The Lakers are hopeful it won't be an issue once again next season.
