There is clearly far less of Luka Doncic to go around these days.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar Doncic drew attention this week because a staggering photo of him that made the rounds online. Doncic posed for a picture with a fan and looked absurdly skinny in the shot (while only wearing a tank top and shorts). Take a look below.

The Lakers’ season ended in late April with a first-round loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In just the two months since then, it appears that Doncic has already made some remarkable progress.
This new photo of Doncic definitely tracks based on the recent reports that we have heard about him this summer. Doncic has reportedly been extremely dedicated to his fitness this offseason and is said to have dropped a sizable amount of weight. The five-time All-Star appears to be eating far healthier too (as a recent photo posted by his girlfriend Ana Marie Goltes indicated).
At 26 years old, Doncic is officially listed at 230 pounds. He did not appear to be in peak physical condition during his first season as a Laker and even seemingly got challenged to get into better shape by head coach JJ Redick.
The Lakers do not even begin training camp for another three months (at the end of September). But it is clearly so far, so good for Doncic, who is now looking even better than he did during a public appearance just last month.
