LeBron James' absence from public events surrounding Luka Dončić's contract extension was significant, especially during a celebration at a Backstreet Boys concert. He did, however, reach out privately to congratulate Luka via phone. Both LeBron and his son Bronny were not present at the conference, with LeBron's absence drawing attention. The situation illustrates the scrutiny LeBron faces regarding his public engagements. While he balances his presence, being a public figure means that any absence from notable events will be felt among fans and observers alike.
LeBron reached out to Luka via phone call to congratulate him on the new extension, according to longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein.
LeBron and son Bronny James were noticeably not in attendance at the news conference, but I'm told that LeBron FaceTimed Dončić on Saturday morning to congratulate him on the new deal.
LeBron's absence on Saturday as the Lakers announced Luka Dončić's extension was noticeable, particularly during the celebrations at a Backstreet Boys concert.
