Luka Doncic is working out during the summer, and his updated physique heading to the 2025-26 NBA Regular Season and the preceding EuroBasket 2025 has been drawing the attention of basketball fans, especially across social media.

After hearing criticism over his conditioning, Doncic gave Men’s Health a look at his revamped training routine.

Luka Doncic's recent feature on Men's Health magazine has caused an uproar around the league. With specific reference to the Mavericks' concerns about his weight, the Lakers guard made sure the Mavs knew about his recent efforts.

Over the years, Luka Doncic has been repeatedly criticized for entering NBA seasons out of shape, particularly in 2021 and 2022. Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and ESPN pundits often highlighted Luka’s conditioning as his only major flaw.

Nothing motivates the greats quite like the quest to prove someone wrong. When the Dallas Mavericks shocked the NBA by trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers, it was followed up by spin out of Dallas about GM Nico Harrison and the franchise’s concerns about Doncic’s lack of commitment to conditioning, taking care of his body and defense.

Luka Doncic is reportedly on the verge of signing a four-year, $229 million contract extension with the LA Lakers for the next four years.
