Fans are commenting on how slim Luka Doncic looks in minicamp video

The Los Angeles Lakers' unofficial minicamp, which Luka Doncic has been organizing in his native Slovenia, is nearing completion. Doncic's leadership role has become increasingly important after LeBron James departed earlier this summer, solidifying Doncic as the team's unquestioned leader and centerpiece. The Lakers have brought in several new players this summer, making this minicamp particularly vital for team cohesion.

Several videos from the camp have surfaced, and fans have taken notice of Doncic's noticeably slimmer and more fit appearance. This transformation has generated excitement among Lakers supporters, as evidenced by various social media reactions. One fan predicted that Doncic will win the MVP award this season, projecting him to achieve 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists per game.

Another fan humorously compared Doncic to a rookie, expressing delight at his improved physique. Some even speculated that Doncic's fitness could lead the league to a fun season. Doncic's fitness journey began last summer, following a period of criticism for his lack of conditioning. In response, he made significant changes to his diet and weight, which contributed to his MVP season in 2025-26.

He averaged 33.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists, won his second scoring title, and enhanced his defense, which had previously been a significant concern. However, his season was cut short on April 2 due to a hamstring injury. Despite that setback, he has recovered fully and is ready to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
