The footage, according to Spanish media outlet EFE Deportes, was shot on Tuesday, several days after it was revealed Doncic had traveled to Madrid to get special treatment on his ailing hamstring.
The clip shows a drove of fans descending on the 27-year-old All-Star as he was departing from a Spanish hotel. Doncic could then be seen in the vid signing some autographs, before he hopped into an awaiting SUV.
