The challenges of being in the NBA Bubble, particularly the mental drain that the same routine of playing, practice, and testing every other day can cause, especially without the presence of family or even other loved ones, like pets. Lakers guard Danny Green put a voice to those concerns and earlier this week, so did Clippers guard Paul George.
On Saturday, as the NBA gets back to playing games, LeBron James joined in sharing how much he misses his family back at home, posting a collage photo of his three kids and his wife Savannah back in Los Angeles. The past week, where mental health has become even more of a concern, has likely intensified that feeling.
Family members of various teams are reportedly already in quarantine, with the NBA allowing a select group of guests for each player. It’s unclear if LeBron’s wife Savannah and the kids will be joining him. But with the school year close to starting, given how much LeBron and Savannah value education, even if it’s in a social distanced fashion, it would not be a shock if he doesn’t see them until the season ends rather than changing the schedules of his children even more than they already have to due to the pandemic.
