LeBron James doesn’t have a seat at the Lakers’ table anymore. According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst, general manager Rob Pelinka and coach JJ Redick had a reservation at the famed Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood four days after the Lakers’ season ended — but only one Lakers superstar was in attendance. That was Luka Doncic.

During the 2024-25 NBA season with the Lakers, James played in 70 games. He averaged 24.4 points per game to go along with 8.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and a steal, while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor and knocking down 37.6 percent of his three-point attempts.
