The Lakers King, LeBron James, was held out of practice this Monday because of a “nerve irritation” in his glute, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. While the team was working through, LeBron appeared front and center on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream, joking, laughing, and even teasing a haircut. Fans were quick to react, and Twitter didn’t hold back.
One post summed it up, writing, “He’s on Kai Cenat stream now about to cut his hair with ‘nerve issues’?” Social chatter mixed disbelief with humor, highlighting the tension between health caution and fan expectations. And well, this isn’t the first time LeBron’s off-court antics made headlines, but the timing during a practice day for a team adjusting to Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and DeAndre Ayton raised eyebrows.
