LeBron James and his son Bronny made NBA history when they appeared together on the court in a regular season game for the first time during the Los Angeles Lakers’ season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The father-son duo helped lead the Lakers to a 110-103 victory.
The fans at Crypto.com Arena were fully focused on the historic moment when the two shared the floor for nearly three minutes. However, what many fans didn’t know was that this celebration of basketball history came after the James family faced legal trouble stemming from a car accident that occurred nearly two years earlier.
On November 13, 2022, LeBron and Bronny were involved in an incident in Littlerock, California. It has recently resurfaced with a lawsuit. According to TMZ Sports, April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen, who were victims in the crash, have filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles.
They claimed that the Jameses collided with their vehicle, causing them injuries and significant damage to their car. After remaining calm for almost two years, Lopez and McGillen are now seeking unspecified damages. They claimed that their injuries require ongoing medical care and that the value of their car has diminished due to the accident.
