Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was one of many players across the NBA who sported WNBA-branded gear on Saturday in honor of the start of the WNBA.
The WNBA season kicked off for real on Saturday morning as No. 1 pick Sabrina Ionescu made her WNBA debut in an 87-71 loss at the hands of the 2018 WNBA champion Seattle Storm, who welcomed back 2018 MVP Breanna Stewart and veteran point guard Sue Bird after both missed the entirety of the 2019-20 season due to injury. James and the Lakers played in a scrimmage on Saturday against the Orlando Magic and James pulled up to the scrimmage with the orange WNBA hoodie that many other players wore on Saturday.
In addition to James, players around the league such as Oklahoma City’s Chris Paul and Portland’s Carmelo Anthony, posted photos of them in their WNBA hoodies to show support for the ladies who started their season this weekend.
