The good Luka Doncic now seems to be facing pressure from his new franchise, Los Angeles Lakers, not to neglect his physical condition. Someone who usually praises and avoids trouble has also wanted to comment on the shape of the Slovenian.

Magic Johnson has been the latest to criticize Luka Doncic's physical state and warned that the upcoming season will be crucial for the Los Angeles Lakers, during his appearance on the ESPN show "First Take" aired on Thursday morning:

"Luka needs to understand that this is not Dallas. As you rightly say, Kobe was the superstar who led us, Shaq took us to the championship, LeBron also led us. And that's what's missing here. We shouldn't have to tell you to get in shape, you should do that yourself, right? Especially if you're a superstar. That's why this will be a very important season for the Lakers, and also a crucial preseason."

We'll see what happens next season. Regardless of whether the Lakers manage to build a competitive team that fights for the championship or not, what is true is that in terms of image, after everything that has happened this season with the trade, injuries, Mavericks' leaks, and the early elimination of the Lakers, Doncic has a lot at stake.
