ESPN analyst makes shock claim about Luka Doncic’s mystery trip to Spain

Brian Windhorst isn’t so sure Luka Doncic traveled to Spain last month to get treatment on his ailing hamstring.

While appearing on “The Rich Eisen Show” this week, the ESPN NBA insider said he believed Doncic went overseas for more personal matters than work ones.

“I’m a big actions over words guy,” Windhorst said. “When Luka got hurt, Luka went to Spain for ‘treatment.’ Have you ever heard of someone — I mean, I’ve heard of going to Germany. I’ve never heard of going to Spain.”

Windhorst implied that the Lakers simply let the Slovenian native return to Europe for a mini-vacation, knowing that his injured leg needed multiple weeks to heal.

“Luka also has a newborn who is Slovenia,” Windhorst said. “And so I certainly think if he had an opportunity to go and get some time off, go to Slovenia and see your newborn child. He lives in Madrid in the offseason.”

Doncic sustained a Grade 2 hamstring strain on April 2, and days later, he was spotted in Spain signing autographs and taking in a basketball game with Novak Djokovic.
