Luka Dončić's physical transformation was a process in the works even before the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade him to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Having faced immense criticism for his seemingly subpar physique this past season, NBA prodigy Luka Doncic has now flipped the script, adopting an intense fitness routine to prepare for the 2025-26 season.

Doncic's media tour on Monday included a stop in YES Network's broadcast booth during the Yankees-Rays game in the Bronx. Play-by-play announcer Michael Kay brought up Doncic's new look and suggested the 26-year-old send the Dallas Mavericks, who stunningly traded him away last year, a nice little gift to remind them of what they lost.

For the last seven years, Luka Doncic has left NBA fans in awe at how he can dominate the league as a 6-foot-6 point guard with seemingly no athleticism at all, putting defenses on a string and bending them to his will as he methodically gets to his spots and scores over and over and over again.

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.

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

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic visited New York Yankees stars Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm on Monday night.

An NBA insider believes there may be untold Luka Doncic stories that the Dallas Mavericks have not revealed to the public.
