Luka Doncic has been very busy since his Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs a few months ago.
Not only has he been preparing to play for Team Slovenia in the EuroBasket tournament, but he’s also been getting into incredible shape for the 2025-26 NBA season.
Now, Doncic is talking about what fans can expect from him and his new look.
“Honestly, nothing different. Just probably less tired, a little bit quicker,” Doncic said.

Doncic might be saying that not much will change, but fans don’t agree with him.
Lakers followers are elated to see what Doncic can do now that he has shed some weight.
They do expect him to be faster and to be less tired, but they also think he will score and defend better, too.
In short, some people believe that Doncic will take his entire game to a whole other level in the new season.
Doncic was already a huge part of the Lakers last season, averaging 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists during his first 28 games with the team.
He is viewed as the future of the franchise and will take over the team, especially when LeBron James retires.
Doncic is one of the greatest players in the league, but people naturally wonder how much better he can get with less weight and better form.
Fans are hoping that Doncic has turned a page and started a new chapter and won’t go back to his old ways.
They don’t want to see him slip into old habits and put extra pounds back on.
They love what they see from him right now, and they want it to continue.
Regardless of his downplaying expectations, Lakers fans are hoping for a lot from Doncic and his physique.
