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.
Last offseason, Doncic stole the show with his noticeable weight change, losing 31 pounds. Doncic appeared on the cover of Men's Health magazine to talk about his diet and the steps he took to make those significant changes.
