Report: LeBron James to Attend Son Bryce's Title Game with Sierra Canyon amid Injury


While the Los Angeles Lakers get ready to play in Denver, LeBron James is reportedly headed to Sacramento.

NBA insider Chris Haynes reported that James, who is away from the Lakers amid his recovery from a groin strain, is traveling to watch his son Bryce James play in Sierra Canyon's state title game.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Wednesday that James had left the Lakers' road trip and returned to Los Angeles "per medical recommendation."

The Lakers, who have lost three straight away games, will play the Nuggets on Friday night at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Sierra Canyon advanced to the state title game after emerging victorious from the Southern California regional final with a 74-68 win over Redondo. James contributed three points in Tuesday's victory.

The victory marked Sierra Canyon's first regional title since future No. 55 pick Bronny James played for the Trailblazers in 2020, as noted by Steve Galluzzo of the Los Angeles Times.

Sierra Canyon is now set to face Lincoln of Stockton, California, for the boys' state title Friday night.

LeBron James has not played with the Lakers since March 8, when he suffered the groin injury during a loss to the Boston Celtics.

Charania originally reported James was expected to miss "at least one to two weeks" with the injury.

James' injury has further tested the depth of a Lakers team now missing four starters with Luka Dončić, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes also sidelined.

According to Haynes, James traveled to Sacramento after completing all of Friday's medical treatment.

"The Lakers support this. I'm told the Lakers honor his support of his son and his family, and they view this championship as being a huge moment that he can't miss," Haynes said.

Bryce James announced in a January Instagram post that he was committed to join the University of Arizona as a member of the Class of 2025. He also held offers from Ohio State and Duquesne, per On3.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.

The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show.
