During the 2024-25 NBA season, the Lakers traded for Luka Doncic. The Dallas Mavericks offered the five-time All-Star via trade in exchange for Davis, which the California team accepted. Since then, fans haven't been able to see James and Davis together.

The last time they were spotted together was when they faced each other for the first time on April 9.

After the trade, the 2020 champion was asked about what his relationship with LeBron James would look like. According to Davis, his relationship with the four-time champion remains the same.

He claimed that they have been close since they teamed up in 2019. The former Kentucky star also hinted that they'd hang out together this summer, which they did, given the photo that went around social media.

"We’ve been really close, but nothing has changed. Obviously, we don’t talk hang like we used to just because of the teams and stuff. But I’m sure we will get together over the summer and try to figure it out," Davis said via Andscape.

Teams may have changed, but LeBron James is still considered a friend and a brother by most of his former co-stars.
