AceShowbiz - LeBron James and Bronny James are facing legal trouble hours after making history as the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game together. According to TMZ, two women, April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen, have filed a lawsuit against the Jameses, alleging that they were involved in an auto crash on November 13, 2022, in Littlerock, California.
The plaintiffs claim that the Jameses hit their car on the highway, causing injuries that require ongoing medical attention. They also assert that their car was severely damaged and has lost value due to the alleged crash. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from the basketball duo.
Neither LeBron nor Bronny James have commented on the lawsuit. The allegations surfaced just hours before the father-son tandem played together for the Los Angeles Lakers in their regular season-opening game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers emerged victorious, with a score of 110-103.
Despite the legal challenges, the game was a historic moment for the James family. LeBron expressed his joy and gratitude on Instagram, saying it was a moment he would "never forget." Bronny's appearance in the game came after he experienced a cardiac arrest during a practice at USC last year. After undergoing surgery, he was cleared to participate in the NBA season.
The lawsuit adds another layer to the Jameses' family history. LeBron, the league's all-time leading scorer, is in his 22nd NBA season, while Bronny is just beginning his career. The father and son have already made a mark on the court, but this latest development will test their bond and raise questions about their future.
