LeBron James returned to the LA Lakers' lineup on Sunday in their 118-108 loss to the Chicago Bulls. James has just recovered from a right foot injury that caused him to miss 13 games. However, a viral report is claiming that "The King" has been suspended for speeding.
Buttcrack Sports reported on Twitter that James was suspended by the Lakers for the rest of the season due to speeding. The account showed the four-time NBA champ inside his Porsche 918 Spyder and driving on the highway.
But it should be noted that these claims are false. Buttcrack Sports is a parody and satire account famous for making hilarious reports on Twitter. Some fans will continue to believe them, while others are longtime fans of the account. They know that they're just trying to stir things up and get the laughs, likes and memes.
According to TMZ Sports, the video of LeBron James inside his supercar was initially posted on Instagram on Dec. 7, 2020. It was at the height of the pandemic, but James was fresh off winning his fourth NBA championship inside the bubble in Orlando.
The video was uploaded by user @e30alex99, a self-proclaimed car enthusiast. James was in the mood, waving to the camera before flexing the speed of his Porsche 918 Spyder. The supercar reportedly can go 0-60 in 2.4 seconds and 0-100 in 4.9 seconds.
The Porsche 918 Spyder was a limited edition supercar released from 2013 to 2015. It had an initial price of $845,000, but it now has a value ranging from 1.1 million and $1.7 million.
LeBron James listed as questionable for Wednesday's game
LeBron James came off the bench for just the second time in his career in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Despite just recovering from a foot injury, James still logged 30 minutes of action for the LA Lakers.
James put up 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists. He shot 6 for 11 from the field and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. However, he had five turnovers in the game.
According to the latest injury report, James has been listed as questionable for the Lakers' game against the Bulls in Chicago on Wednesday. The Lakers (37-38) will start the final road trip of the season before finishing up their final two games at Crypto.com Arena.
The Lakers will have to win as many games as possible to ensure that they have a chance of making the playoffs. They are two games behind the sixth seed, but are in a very tight race in the Western Conference standings. They can overtake the New Orleans Pelicans (38-38) for the eighth seed.
