Dogged by rumors that his lack of discipline in conditioning and workouts led to his trade from Dallas, Lakers star Luka Doncic embarked on lifestyle changes he says will go beyond the offseason.

Inside the magazine, Doncic gave an exclusive interview to Andrew Heffernan and Ebenezer Samuel about the crazy offseason body transformation he's undergone over the last several months, in which he reveals how he's shed some serious pounds to get in arguably the best shape of his basketball career.

Luka Doncic understood the assignment this summer after the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a disappointing first-round exit in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. The 26-year-old superstar hooper was featured on the cover of Men’s Health and described his approach in the offseason.
