Brian Windhorst makes shock claim about Luka Doncic's Spain trip
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst expressed skepticism about Luka Doncic's trip to Spain last month, suggesting it was more for personal reasons than medical treatment.
- Windhorst noted that while Doncic's hamstring injury required weeks to heal, the player likely used the trip as a chance to visit his newborn child in Slovenia and spend time in Madrid, where he reportedly lives offseason.
- Doncic suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain on April 2 and was seen in Spain shortly after, signing autographs and attending a basketball game with Novak Djokovic.
- Slovenian basketball analyst Matej Petek disputed Windhorst's claims, stating that Spain is known for advanced stem cell and PRP treatments and that Doncic's visit was indeed for medical reasons.
- Doncic has not played since the injury, has resumed light workouts, and is expected to miss at least one more game in the Lakers' current series.
