“You Are Not the Only One Playing With a F*cked Up…”: Lebron James Pokes Fun at Patrick Mahomes During Mavericks Game

When Chiefs Nation witnessed Patrick Mahomes hobbling around the field during Super Bowl LVII, it seemed like their worst fears were coming to pass. After the QB suffered a high ankle sprain in January, the threat of the issue’s recurrence during the final showdown was imminent. Despite that, Mahomes and the Chiefs were able to edge out the Eagles to take home the victory. But currently, he’s not the only star facing ankle-related woes.

Walking away from the Lakers‘ faceoff against the Mavericks, LeBron James’ usual confident gait was hampered by a very visible limp. The Lakers star missed the team’s next game and provided an update on his foot. But before that, James shared a moment with Patrick Mahomes. So, what did he say?

Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James bonded over a shared experience

Patrick Mahomes was seated courtside for the Lakers-Mavericks game along with his wife Brittany. As the referee was about to hand James the ball, he turned around and acknowledged Mahomes’ presence. Despite the game at hand, James took a moment to joke about something that they have in common.

He said, “You [sic] not the only one playing with a f*cked up ankle huh?” as the Chiefs’ QB laughed along.

Their interaction was caught on camera and sent fans into a frenzy. At present, James will be reassessed for his injury and the date of his return might take a while to arrive. While Mahomes looks much better now, that wasn’t the case a few weeks ago.

Mahomes pressed forward through the pain

The intense rivalry between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs is fueled by events that have occurred on and off the field. Ranging from comments from the Cincinnati Mayor to Mahomes’ past losing record against the Bengals, everything came down to the AFC title game.

Joseph Ossai was flagged for a late hit against Mahomes. That set up a 45-yard field goal for the Chiefs to take home the victory. But, Ossai’s hit on Mahomes pushed the latter out of bounds and seemingly aggravated his injury. Regardless, the QB pushed through the pain. Two weeks later, as the confetti rained down on State Farm Stadium, Mahomes held the Vince Lombardi Trophy- the best end to an unforgettable season.
