Lakers' superstar LeBron James came through in the clutch moments of his squad's play-in game against the Golden State Warriors and MVP finalist Steph Curry. However, the night before the game, LeBron attended an outdoor promotional event for Lobos Tequila (a company he's invested in) and raised questions about the potential risks of his attendance.
Just ahead of Sunday's Game 1 versus the Phoenix Suns, it was reported that LeBron had broken the COVID-19 measures put in place for the players by attending the event. This sparked brief speculation as to whether LeBron would have to sit out 10-14 days to go through the league's health and safety protocols. Not soon after the initial report circulated, the league decided against suspending Bron citing his attendance didn't rise to the necessary threat level to warrant a 10-14 day quarantine.
The league sought to clarify its decision in a statement issued on Monday. The league said LeBron "briefly attended an outdoor event last week where participants were required to be vaccinated or return a negative test result."
