Following Doncic’s transition to the Lakers, fans observed a noticeable decrease in his weight in recent images, raising questions about his conditioning and fitness.

There were previous rumors that the Mavericks traded Doncic to the Lakers due to concerns about his conditioning. However, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards firmly rejected these claims in a recent interview at the 2025 NBA All-Star event.

“He didn’t look 270 to me. Man, he averages 30 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds. I don’t give a damn if you’re 300 lbs. You’re fine with me.” Edwards said.

Edwards emphasized that Doncic’s weight is inconsequential when considering the remarkable performance he has consistently exhibited throughout his career.

During a recent interview at the 2025 NBA All-Star event, a reporter approached Edwards with an intriguing question. He stated that Luka Doncic currently weighed 270 pounds and asked Edwards if he could recall what his own heaviest weight had been. In an exciting twist, the Ant Man playfully took a shot at Doncic’s previous team, the Dallas Mavericks.

Reporter: “Reports said Luka Doncic was 270 lbs. What’s the heaviest you’ve been, maybe in the off-season?”

“240. I hope they ain’t trade me when I was 240.” Edwards said.

Doncic dazzled fans in his highly anticipated Lakers debut on February 10 against the Utah Jazz. He showcased his skills with an impressive 14 points in just 24 minutes, leading the Lakers to a commanding 132-113 victory.

In a recent game with the Jazz, the Lakers faced a setback, falling 131-119. Currently, the Lakers are holding strong in 5th place in the Western Conference standings with a noteworthy record of 32-20. Looking ahead, their next exciting matchup will be against the Charlotte Hornets at the iconic Crypto.com Arena.
