On Friday, the Lakers announced that LeBron would sit out the team’s remaining games against the Thunder and the Nuggets.
Los Angeles Lakers F LeBron James will sit out the rest of the regular season due to his ankle injury. The Lakers were eliminated from playoff contention on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns, a game James sat out due to the ankle. Los Angeles had an outside shot of getting into the play-in tournament as the 10-seed. Instead, the Lakers will miss the postseason entirely after winning a championship two seasons ago.
After news spread of LeBron’s status for the remainder of the season, fans immediately mocked him over his April Fools’ Day joke.
Bro tweeted out he’s done and everyone took it as a joke 💀
