Danny Green claims a lot of the leaks about LeBron James and the NBA meetings weren’t true

When Danny Green laid down for his pregame nap on Wednesday, he was expecting to play a playoff game for the Lakers that evening. When he woke up to frantic knocking at his door, he found out he’d instead be heading for a night with even higher stakes than a playoff matchup: The Milwaukee Bucks had led a wildcat strike before their game against the Orlando Magic, and now the players in the bubble were having a meeting to discuss what all of them should do next.

A lot of rumors have come out about that meeting in the days since, from reports that Lakers star LeBron James voted to cancel the season and led his team out of the room, to word that James and other players voiced their frustrations with the Bucks for starting their protest without a plan for what they wanted to get out of it, among other anecdotes.
