NBA Summer League Rookie
The NBA Summer League is full-fledged and these are the most impressed rookies.
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Donsic appears to arrive at training camp in the best form of his professional basketball career in a few months.
A clip of Donic’s new look physique has been posted on social media, with Men’s Health posted two sidebars and two sidebars detailing Doncic’s diet and fitness routines. In the photo, it appears that Doncic has lost weight and added muscle.
“I would say visually that I can see my whole body very well,” Donsic told the magazine.
He has also been criticized for his weight and conditioning as Doncic has become one of the best players in the NBA. Working closely with training staff, including physical therapists and nutritionists in the offseason, Donsic hopes to be the best shape of his life for the 2025-26 season.
His diet includes fasting for nearly 16 hours a day while consuming a high protein low carbohydrate nutrition program, including whey protein shakes. His training plans include weightlifting, resistance banding routine, agility and on-court drills.
“It was a little different this summer,” Donsic said in the story. “It motivated me to get better.”
Donsic, 26, played just 50 games in his career last season, and was not making an All-Star or All-NBA team for the first time since 2020.
The Lakers are looking to maximize the championship window with LeBron James along with Don Sic.
Doncic is scheduled to play in Slovenia at Eurobasket, which will be held from August 27th to September. 14.
