Luka Doncic, the Los Angeles Lakers’ star player, is getting attention for working hard on his fitness. Even though he is one of the best players, some people worry about him staying in shape. This was reportedly a reason the Dallas Mavericks traded him to the Lakers before last season’s trade deadline, even after he led them to the NBA finals.
Reports say Doncic is indeed following an intense workout regimen. His fitness is a big topic since he joined the Lakers in February, particularly after their quick exit from the playoffs. The Lakers now see what the Mavericks saw as a problem as a positive.
Doncic is trying to prove doubters wrong. He recently posted a leg workout video online and is preparing for the next season. A few weeks earlier, a video showed him looking slimmer at a Real Madrid basketball game, suggesting he is in the process of adopting a new workout plan.
Here is the video below:

However, Doncic can sign a massive four-year, $229 million contract extension with the Lakers in early August. He seems loyal to the team, but the details of his new contract are still in question. The Lakers will need to show they can build a strong team around him this offseason to keep him long term.
