UPDATE 1:25 AM 7/14/19
There’s a good chance this controversy was all a setup. The video identified as the “deleted” IG Story appears to have been a story from Donovan Mitchell’s trip to China last year. The backstory allegedly is the fans were not there for Donovan Mitchell but Tracy McGrady. Last year Donovan Mitchell traveler to China with T-Mac for NBA2KOnline 2. The “fans” waiting for T-Mac were actually businessmen.
There’s some other discrepancies in this video. Donovan Mitchell in the video is not wearing any Spida-themed adidas apparel despite this trip being 100% about his shoes and Spida themed apparel.
