LA Lakers superstar Luka Doncic's drastic body transformation has been the talk of the basketball world this summer. Doncic revealed that his diet and workout routine have been drastically different this offseason, and he showcased his new physique on the cover of Men's Health.Amid his Jordan Brand tour, the Lakers superstar appeared on "The Today Show" on Wednesday and discussed the motivation behind his transformation. One of the hosts, Craig Malvin, slipped in a pointed question, asking Doncic if he had used Ozempic, a weight-loss drug. Doncic quickly shot down the question.However, the question caught many by surprise. One X user indirectly trolled pop star Drake, who was accused by Kendrick Lamar of using the drug to fuel his weight loss."They thought he was Fake like Drake. Nah that’s really hard work coming from Luka."Dashteam17 @kingjesus17LINKThey thought he was Fake like Drake.

After three months off following the LA Lakers' first-round exit to the Timberwolves, the Slovenian took significant time off basketball, which he's never done before. Doncic revealed he didn't play the sport for a month, focusing on other aspects of his fitness. He also said he had changed his diet."I would say me and my team tried different things, different food, and different practices. I actually gave up playing basketball for one month, which I have never done in my life, so it was kind of challenging, but it was good."According to Men's Health, Doncic leaned on intermittent fasting, including two high-protein meals a day and a protein shake. He didn't have his first meal until he had finished a 90-minute workout in the morning.Previously, Luka Doncic said it was difficult for him to follow a strict regimen for various reasons. That included spending time with family and friends."For me, you know, after the season, going back home, it's a big thing, you know, Doncic said. "I see my friends, my family, I see everybody. So it's not easy for sure."Nevertheless, with a team dedicated to his fitness and one that has worked with Doncic since 2023, things have taken a turn for the better. Moreover, Doncic's motivation to succeed with the Lakers is also a factor after a brutal ending to his first playoff campaign in LA.
