The Los Angeles Lakers are concluding an unofficial minicamp organized by Luka Doncic in his native Slovenia. This marks his first leadership initiative since LeBron James departed earlier this summer, making him the undisputed leader and focal point of the team. Given the roster’s influx of new players acquired this summer, this minicamp appears timely. Several videos of the camp have been released, and fans have observed Doncic’s noticeably slim and fit physique. His improved physique has fans buzzing about the upcoming season. Last summer, after criticism for not being in shape, Doncic underwent significant weight loss and dietary improvements, leading to a standout 2025-26 season. He averaged 33.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game, winning his second scoring title in three years. His defensive play, previously a concern, also saw improvement. The season ended prematurely due to a hamstring strain on April 2, but he has reportedly fully recovered. With LeBron James gone, Doncic’s potential growth in the upcoming season is a major focus, particularly if he enhances his shooting efficiency. Last season, he shot 47.6% overall, 36.6% from three-point range, and 78% from the free throw line. He led the league with 10.1 free throw attempts and 10.8 three-point tries per game.
