FanDuel Sportsbook is giving the Los Angeles Lakers star the third-best MVP odds behind the Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokić amid viral photos showing his offseason slimdown.

In February, basketball fans were stunned to see that the Mavericks’ general manager, Nico Harrison, sent Doncic to the Lakers. This resulted in a trade between the two teams, bringing center forward Anthony Davis to the Mavericks.

On Aug. 2, Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic will be eligible for a max contract extension. The Slovenia native currently has two years left on his deal, including a $48.9 million player option for the 2026-27 season.
