LeBron James Interrupts Shohei Ohtani Take from Lakers Teammate who Made Him Bleed: “Trying to Get Me to Wear the Mask”

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a humiliating loss against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. The Spurs dominated the Lakers right from the tip-off and ended their 18-game losing streak. On the other hand, the LA, who were still hung over from the In-season Tournament Finals, took the defeat on a lighter note. Notably, moments after the loss, the franchise spearhead LeBron James took a dig at his teammate in the locker room.

The Spurs came out of the strangling, losing streak with an explosive game. The team registered a blowout 129-115 win, without letting the visiting team take a lead throughout the game. While Victor Wembanyama considered this win as a playoff game, LBJ had a casual banter with his teammate on the other hand. Let’s find out more in detail.

LeBron James takes a dig at teammate after the Spurs loss

Following the loss, the Japanese star Rui Hachimura took up a few questions in the locker room. One of the reporters asked him about the viral Shohei Ohtani’s LA Dodgers trade. The 25-year-old star went on talking about his country until LeBron James interrupted him with a slight dig.

King James reminded Hachimura of the blow, where he accidentally hit James in the face during the rebound attempt. The game paused for a brief moment, as James stayed on the floor in pain for a moment.

The superstar took the locker room interview as an opportunity and didn’t hold back from taking a dig at him. He interrupted Hachimura mid-way and said, “Trying to get me to wear the mask?” Notably, Hachimura has been wearing a mask during his on-court performance following nasal surgery.

Leaving the humor apart, both stars put up a strong performance in their attempt to chase down the Spurs’ lead, dropping 43 points combined with 18 assists.

The 7’4″ youngster came into the league with enormous hype. He did live up to the hype with his skills in the initial games, but then his team spiraled down a steep slope, facing loss after loss.

The continuous losses pushed them down to the bottom of the Western Conference points table and looking helpless without any chance of revival until they turned it around against the Lakers.

Following the game, Victor Wembanyama opened up the win. He said, “Feels like a playoff game for me. We love this feeling. We have to work our ass off to repeat it,” posted Tom Orsborn, a senior sports writer.
