LeBron and Bronny James made history as the first father-son duo in the NBA, but they might be balling together in a different type of court soon, since they have been slapped with a lawsuit after their involvement in a 2022 car crash.
LeBron and his eldest son are reportedly linked to a car accident that happened in November of 2022, and now the alleged victim is seeking compensation from them.
The father and son were mentioned in a new lawsuit just hours before their historic appearance at the Tuesday Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena.
Court filings reveal that the plaintiffs, April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen, accuse the athletes of causing the collision nearly two years ago.
According to Lopez and McGillen, the crash happened on a highway on November 13, 2022, in Littlerock, California. They claim the accident left them with significant injuries requiring ongoing medical care.
Additionally, they allege that their vehicle was heavily damaged, losing all its financial value as a result of the crash.
TMZ reported that LeBron and Bronny are being sued for an undisclosed amount.
The news didnt stop the two from having the time of their lives for the Lakers on Opening Night, as they checked into the game together.
LeBron was hyped about the moment and said, That moment, us being at the scorers table together and checking in together, is something I will never forget. No matter how old I get, no matter how my memory may fade as I get older or whatever, I will never forget that moment.
LeBron also reacted to the victory on his Instagram with a video, captioning his post, NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. The game made history as the first time LeBron and his son Bronny would play in a game on the same team.
He then followed that up with a carousel of images with Bronny and said, Hollywood couldnt write a better script so we helped them write it and brought it to them. HISTORY WAS MADE! #JamesGang
