LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Lakers will not visit President Joe Biden at the White House to celebrate their 2020 NBA championship when the team travels to Washington, D.C. for a game against the Wizards later this month, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.
Scheduling challenges and continued COVID-19 protocols will prevent a visit in the April 27-28 window when the Lakers are in the nation's capital for the Wizards game, however a future meet-and-greet with the 46th President of the United States has not been ruled out, the source told ESPN.
