LeBron James Wears Son Bryce's Arizona Jersey in Video to Lakers-Wolves amid Injury

LeBron James repped his son Bryce James while sitting on the sideline of the Los Angeles Lakers' Friday night home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

James, whose 2025-26 season debut has been delayed by sciatica in his right side, was seen wearing an Arizona jersey courtside in Los Angeles.

The Lakers are still looking for their first win of the season after dropping a 119-109 opening night loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

Bryce saw his first college action when making an exhibition start in Arizona's Red-Blue Showcase earlier this month.

Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd recently said that keeping Bryce on the sideline in 2025-26 for a redshirt freshman season was a "possibility," per David Veenstra of Arizona Sports.

"The reason I say that (redshirting is a possibility) is because I believe in Bryce," Lloyd said, per Veenstra. "And if you didn't believe in somebody, why would you spend extra resources on them or extra time?"

James' elder son, Bronny James, joined his father on the Lakers when he selected by the franchise in the second round of the 2024 draft.

Bronny ultimately made 27 appearances during his rookie regular season, averaging 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 6.7 minutes per game.

He also appeared in two playoff games before the Lakers were eliminated from the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves, but has yet to make his 2025-26 season debut heading into into Friday.

The Lakers are hoping to go on a deeper postseason run this spring in their first full campaign with Luka Dončić, but that could depend on how soon James is able to return. ESPN's Shams Charania previously reported that James is expected to be back with the Lakers in mid-November.
