Luka Doncic has a new physique to go along with his monster Los Angeles Lakers contract, and he’s showing it off while on the basketball court in the latest photos of the NBA superstar.

The 26-year-old All-Star just signed a 3-year, $165 million extension to stay in LA and was rewarded with a trip to Las Vegas with some of his teammates. — not LeBron James — and Jeanie Buss, new team owner Mark Walter, and GM Rob Pelinka, who he was seen dancing with at the Backstreet Boys concert they all attended. There was also this epic photo of everyone together.

Doncic has lost a ton of weight over the summer changing up his diet and workout routines, including taking up pickleball. He looks like a whole new person in a photo shoot for Men’s Health magazine.

He’s also still hitting crazy shots on the basketball court and working out for his home country of Slovenia in the latest photos of a transformed Doncic he shared — his first since signing his contract extension.

Doncic was listed at 6-foot-6, 230 pounds last season and still averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists. The rest of the league should be terrified of the new-look Luka and not the one who was gassed at the end of the playoffs.
