LeBron James, who has been primarily focused on supporting his son Bronny after a recent heart condition scare, has been actively engaged in endorsing the new additions to the Lakers’ roster this offseason. While the news of Bronny’s anticipated comeback is welcomed, the triggering facts warrant careful consideration for his basketball future. So, this offseason, it’s only fair for him to spend as much time with his family as he can.
Meanwhile, as far as the practice games and matches are involved, James has only been in the facility a few times this offseason. But he doesn’t miss a chance to extend his support to his teammates in action.

D’Angelo Russell, the 27-year-old guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, embarked on a journey to China for his endorsement commitments. During his trip, he was accompanied by Zaire Wade, the son of newly inducted Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade. In a captivating basketball spectacle just two days earlier, Russell participated in an exhibition game that left fans awestruck. He impressed basketball fans with his amazing moves.
Russell’s purposeful trip to China
D’Angelo Russell’s journey to China was centered around fulfilling his endorsement obligations with the Chinese shoe brand, Li-Ning. In the realm of sneakers, Russell aligned with Li-Ning in 2019 after his contract with Nike concluded. Prior to this partnership, he had worn shoes from Puma and Adidas. This offseason brought a twist for Russell. Amid speculation that he might not be retained by the Lakers, the outcome was different. LA successfully secured his services with a two-year, $37 million contract, solidifying his role within the team.
