Luka Doncic played last season at a listed weight of 230 pounds. The Los Angeles Lakers will have to update that based on his offseason look with a noticeable weight loss.

The knock on the 26-year-old Doncic has always been his work ethic and diet off the court. Before the start of last season before he was traded to the Lakers from the Dallas Mavericks, he was in a charity game and looked super out of shape. There was also the now viral scene after the Mavs won the Western Conference when Doncic had his beer taken away.

With all that said, the dude still averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game last season, but the Lakers were dropped in the first round of the playoffs and at time he looked gassed out there.

A much thinner Luka has appeared thanks in part to his fiancée Anamaria Goltes who is helping Doncic with his diet. Scroll through to see more.

Here’s the most dramatic side-by-side another look as well as more below.

It remains to be seen how the offseason dominoes fall and if the Lakers reload, but one thing for sure is the rest of the league could be in trouble next year as a slimmer Doncic could be unstoppable.

His 1-year-old daughter Gabriela should also get an assist for keeping dad busy.
