LeBron James traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts to watch his son Bronny play on Monday at 1pm ET at the Basketball Hall of Fame. After the game, he then traveled back to the TD Garden to meet the Boston Celtics at 7:30pm. Despite throwing off his pregame routine with the game day travel, LeBron told Bill Oram of The Athletic that he’d do the same thing all over again.
While attending Bronny’s game, LeBron witnessed the unfortunate incident of a fan in the stands throwing candy or popcorn at his son while he inbounded the basketball in the 3rd quarter. Then, Lebron and his Lakers got rolled by Kemba Walker and the Celtics by a score of 139-107. But LeBron did not have any regrets following the blowout loss.
“This right here is all secondary when it comes to my family,” LeBron said.
LeBron struggled from the field against Boston, shooting just 5-of-12 on the night an missing both of the 3-pointers he attempted. He also turned the ball over four times despite finishing with 15 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds. Not helping matters was Anthony Davis who also finished far from his statistical averages with nine points and four boards.
Next up for LeBron and the Lakers are the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET as they look to bounce back from a 32-point drubbing.
