Report: LeBron James Won't Be Suspended Despite Violating Health Protocols

Lakers forward LeBron James breached the NBA's health and safety protocols when he attended an outdoor promotional event for his tequila brand earlier this week, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. However, James will not be suspended because the event isn't considered a threat for spreading COVID-19, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

James, along with other high profiles stars such as recording artist Drake and actor Michael B. Jordan, attended the event earlier this week before the Lakers Play-in tournament game against the Warriors.

A league spokesman told ESPN the Lakers were notified that James went to the outdoor event.
