Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Luka Doncic is reportedly already making major changes after their season came to an end.

According to Dan Woike of The Athletic, Doncic has begun a strict diet to stay in peak shape throughout the season.

The 27-year-old has struggled with injuries the past two seasons. Before being traded to the Lakers, he suffered a severe left calf strain on Christmas Day 2024 as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

Doncic was out for close to two months and played in a total of 50 games in the 2024-25 season.

As for this past season, Doncic played in 64 games, but missed the Lakers' entire playoff run due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Injuries have been a struggle for the six-time All-Star as of late, and he appears to be taking the necessary steps to remain on the court.
