Just Days After His Suspension, LeBron James Faces Fine and Warning From the NBA

LeBron James making headlines isn’t new, but lately, it’s been mostly for controversial reasons. The Los Angeles Lakers already have a tough task ahead of them, which is to find their rhythm back and improve their record in the Western Conference. However, the hurdles just keep coming and this time, Bron is bearing the brunt of it.

The league decided to take measures because of some of Bron’s actions that are not considered appropriate, even when he is playing or even off the court. Here’s what’s going down.

LeBron James will have to pay for his actions, literally!

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar had missed quite a few games that have led to the teams’ visible decline, not only when it comes to their performance but also in the conference table. So, when he returned, fans were over the moon. He was the only hope to get them back on track. But who knew that his comeback would have come packaged with drama.

First, when playing the Detroit Pistons, King James was suspended for their game against the New York Knicks. Why? Well, he accidentally hit Isaiah Stewart in the face, leaving him to bleed severely. A fight broke out, and things actually got out of hand. In fact, he also called the NBA out for taking such extreme measures as a suspension and he didn’t do it very politely.

However, it didn’t get any better for Bron when he returned after missing the game against the New York Knicks. With less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter while playing the Indiana Pacers, the 36-year-old apparently made some inappropriate gestures on the court. This has led the league to issue a $15,000 fine against him along with a strict warning.

Lakers have much more pressing matters to cater to

During this time, LeBron James has to keep his focus intact towards getting the purple and gold back on top. The Lakers have failed to show any sort of consistency in their 2021-22 NBA campaign so far, which is worrying for fans.

If they continue on this road, it’s likely that they’ll meet the same fate they did last season. However, the question dangling over everyone’s head at the moment is their next upcoming bout with the Pistons. After all that has gone down, has the animosity between the two died down already? Or are we in for another violent altercation breaking out?
