Lakers superstar LeBron James was upset after a fan hugged him on the sideline during Monday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto Arena, according to Clutch Points.
James, 39, appeared distraught in a video shared by sports news website X (Twitter), but the exact incident was not recorded. Clutch Points claims the fan was ejected from the stadium.
Neither James nor the Lakers have released a statement about the sideline altercation, but the bigger question is why security allowed fans to approach the bench. It was a successful night for the Lakers, despite issues with James’ fans.
The Thunder defeated the Thunder 112-105 to improve to a 20-21 record.James and Anthony Davis combined for 52 points, with the latter scoring a pair more, and four other Lakers scored in double figures.
