Lakers superstar LeBron James showed love to Draymond Green after suspension

LeBron James was one of the players who reached out to show his love and support to Draymond Green, despite the fact of being rivals. The reality is that LeBron and Green are close friends and the Lakers superstar has shown.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green revealed what Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James told him during Green’s indefinite suspension from the NBA after he struck Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a game on Dec. 12.

“Bron checking in, ‘Yo, just want you to know that we with you,’” Green said. “‘We love you champ. We ride with you. Do whatever you gotta do. Know that we are with you.’”

The 2023-24 season has been a rough one for Green, as he’s been suspended on multiple occasions and ejected from three different games. It’s been tough for the Warriors, as Green is in the first season of a four-year deal that he signed to remain in Golden State this past offseason.

Draymond Green considered retirement

James certainly wanted to make sure that Green was doing well during his absence, and it appears the time away from the game was tough on the Warriors star – especially since he was considering walking away from the game. Hopefully, Green’s time away – and support from players like James – will allow him to return to the NBA and make an impact for Golden State this season.
