Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Don\u010di\u0107 has transformed his body this summer.<\/p>\n
Luka has been balling out for Team Slovenia in exhibitions leading up to the 2025 EuroBasket tournament (which starts on August 27), and Don\u010di\u0107 looks noticeably slimmer<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not surprisingly, social media has gone wild over Luka\u2019s weight loss. Rumors began swirling shortly after the NBA season that Luka was undergoing a change, but without ample footage or photos of Don\u010di\u0107, no one knew for sure what to believe.<\/p>\n Now that Luka\u2019s new body has been unveiled, the new question has become, how much weight has he actually lost?<\/p>\n A new report from Dallas Hoops Journal\u2019s Ashish Mathur answered that question over the weekend.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cNBA superstar\u00a0Luka Don\u010di\u0107\u00a0of the Los Angeles Lakers has lost 30 pounds since last summer, a league source told\u00a0DallasHoopsJournal.com,\u201d Mathur wrote<\/a>. \u201cDon\u010di\u0107 was listed at 230 pounds with the Dallas Mavericks and Lakers last season. He\u2019s at 200 pounds right now, the source said.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n While NBA weight and height listings should be taken with a grain of salt (as should Mathur\u2019s report), it\u2019s not outlandish to assume that Don\u010di\u0107 has shed at least 20 pounds, just based on an eye test comparing his current body with what he looked like for the Lakers last season.<\/p>\n It\u2019ll be fascinating to see how Luka\u2019s new body responds once the 2025-26 season tips off in October. Luka\u2019s frame is looking like it did when he entered the league in 2018. In Luka\u2019s defense, his poor conditioning didn\u2019t stop him from producing for Los Angeles last year. In 28 games with the Lakers, Don\u010di\u0107 averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Furthermore, despite a first-round loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the postseason, Don\u010di\u0107 delivered offensively against the Wolves, averaging 30.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in the series.<\/p>\n
