The Los Angeles Lakers are already locked into a playoff spot, but their best player is thousands of miles away right now. We knew he was heading to Europe for treatment, and now we know exactly where.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania on NBA Today, Luka Doncic has traveled to Spain, where he is receiving injection procedures on his left hamstring. The goal is quick healing and getting him back on the court before or during the postseason.

"We got a new wrinkle going into this week, and that's what I reported last night, and I can further report here today. I'm told Luka Doncic is currently in Spain. He traveled there because he's undergoing an injection procedure in that grade 2 hamstring area to see if he can promote healing and at the end of the day, expedite his return process.
He's doing everything he can to make it back out on the court."

He further added:

We know a grade to hamstring strain typically falls between four to six weeks. He's doing everything he can to see if he can push that timeline up just a little bit. And we're still not sure exactly how this treatment goes. Does it work? How much does it speed everything up? But that's what he is doing. He's in Spain.Shams Charania

The injury happened during a blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, when Doncic pulled up near the free-throw line and went down, grabbing at his hamstring. An MRI confirmed a Grade 2 strain, and the Lakers ruled him out for the rest of the regular season shortly after.
