Why He’s Avoiding the Media Spotlight
LeBron James reportedly did not speak to the media following the Los Angeles Lakers’ 127-102 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.
James had a challenging performance in the game, scoring 18 points, grabbing six rebounds, recording seven assists, and securing three steals. He shot 7-of-17 from the field and 1-of-4 from beyond the arc over 35 minutes, in addition to committing six turnovers.
Typically, James is accessible to the media after both victories and losses, but he reportedly avoided talking to reporters after this defeat. It’s unclear whether he chose not to speak with the press or left the arena before reporters had access to the locker room. No postgame interview with James has been made available.
This comes just days after James announced he was taking a break from social media. On the season, he is averaging 23.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game, while shooting 51.1% from the field and 42.2% from three-point range across 16 games.
The Lakers’ record now stands at 10-6, placing them fourth in the Western Conference. They are currently in the midst of a two-game losing streak. The Lakers’ next game will be on Tuesday, when they travel to Arizona to face the Phoenix Suns.
