James spent two seasons with the Cavaliers before becoming a free agency this summer if he decides not to sign with the Lakers. Two years after leading the Cavs to their lone NBA title in 2016, he departed.

James has kept a home close to his hometown of Akron, where he was born and raised, and is now the league leader in scoring. Although he has returned to Cleveland multiple times since his departure in 2018, he has yet to attend a Cavs game.

James and his wife Savannah, as well as agent Rich Paul, sat courtside as the game started.

Being knocked out in the first round by the reigning champion Denver Nuggets cut short the 39-year-postseason old’s Lakers’ run in the playoffs. After the series, James made it plain that he was not settling on a course of action and was instead keeping his options open.James has already mentioned the possibility of playing with his eldest son Bronny, who played for USC last year and has since announced his intention to enter the draft this year.

After suffering a heart arrest last summer, the league’s physicians gave the younger James the all-clear on Monday, allowing him to attend the Chicago pre-draft combine.

James has won four league championships and was named to the All-Star team twenty times. He spent seven years with the Cavaliers after being selected first overall by Cleveland. In 2010, he signed as a free agent with Miami.

He got back with the Cavs in 2014 and guided them to the NBA Finals four years in a row, each time facing off against the Warriors.
