Lakers Star Luka Doncic Reveals the Secret to Getting in Career Best Shape

The Luka Doncic trade was the story of the 2024/25 NBA season, with the Los Angeles Lakers landing the player who may become the next in a line of generational talent to play for the team. It was a costly move for LA, as giving up Anthony Davis wasn't an easy decision to make, but with Doncic coming into his prime at 26 years of age, it was the move they believed would set them up for long-term success.

One of the most intriguing factors of the deal were comments from Mavericks GM Nico Harrison, who believed that Doncic's lifestyle away from the NBA would hold him back from sustained success in the league. That has reportedly motivated the 5-time All-NBA star, as he's been on a mission this off-season to get in shape, featuring on the cover of Men's Health Magazine recently.

In an interview with the publication, he revealed the secret behind getting into amazing shape, revealing that he is fasting for 16 hours every day except for Sunday. 

Thus far, it's clearly paying off for him, as fans have been amazed at just how good the Slovenian superstar looks, with the belief that this could translate to him taking his game to a new level in 2025/26.

Only time will tell if that actually does change his game, but after averaging 29 points a game in his seven seasons with the Mavericks, he's already one of the best in the NBA, and has been for a long time. If the weight loss does help however, even with LeBron James heading into what could be his final NBA season, this is a Lakers team that's going to have the opportunity to make a very deep NBA Finals run this season.
