Luka Dončić Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Luka Dončić has stayed in the headlines throughout the past few days for both his on-court developments and entertaining off-court moments. The Los Angeles Lakers announced Friday that Dončić will not play in their first two preseason games against the Phoenix Suns on Friday and the Golden State Warriors Sunday. The Lakers explained this decision was coordinated with their performance team due to Dončić’s recent high workload playing for Slovenia at EuroBasket 2025, stating that they are keeping long-term performance and health in mind as the regular season opening on October 21 rapidly approaches. Dončić himself said after Thursday’s practice that he was intentionally taking it slower entering camp, acknowledging his busy summer spent with the Slovenian national team where he played intensive minutes and dropped a remarkable 39 points in his final tournament game before elimination by Germany. He described the summer work as helpful for his fitness, while also making clear he is focused on ramping up responsibly for the long NBA season.

Meanwhile, Dončić’s physical transformation remains a hot topic. According to multiple reports, his weight at the start of the 2025-26 season is 244 pounds, significantly down from his peak of 270 pounds last year. Fans and analysts have complimented his renewed commitment to fitness, especially as images and clips of Dončić surfaced on social media. Most notably, a fan-captured late-night video at an In-N-Out Burger went viral, showing Dončić sitting in his car and scrolling through his phone outside the restaurant. The internet had a field day—supporters praised him for ‘deserving a cheat day’ after all his hard work, while critics jokingly warned he’d gain back the weight just in time for the season. The general takeaway was admiration for his discipline and a dose of relatable humor, as fans posted memes and supportive comments, telling others to let their star enjoy his meal in peace.

There’s also growing buzz about Dončić’s behind-the-scenes impact on the Lakers locker room. Times of India reports a surge in his perceived influence, both as a player and a personality, with teammates praising his leadership and ability to elevate others on the roster. Promotional content featuring Dončić is already circulating on Lakers social media channels, fueling the anticipation for his formal debut in purple and gold.

No major injury or business updates have emerged within the last 24 hours, and there are no reports of conflict or controversy surrounding Dončić currently. If anything, the focus is on his readiness, maturity, and rising leadership profile as LA eyes a strong start to their campaign.
