Lakers' LeBron James: Going to NBA Restart 'Felt Like I'm Heading to Do a Bid'

LeBron James left for Orlando, Florida, on Thursday with the rest of his Los Angeles Lakers teammates.

This goodbye was more difficult than a typical road trip.

James tweeted it felt like he was "heading to do a bid" when leaving his family before the flight:

For those unaware: "Doing a bid" is slang for a prison term.

No NBA players will be able to see their families, barring emergencies, for several weeks. Guests will be allowed to arrive Aug. 30 at the earliest, which will be after the end of the first round of the playoffs, to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19.

Separation anxiety could be higher than normal for players and their families, given they have spent most of the last four months together at home.
