After the 76ers’ 127-121 win over the Bulls, James told reporters the family is safe. LeBron James took questions after the 76ers beat the Bulls 127-121 at the United Center on Sunday. The forward finished with 22 points, five rebounds and five assists, and Philadelphia improved to 9-2, the best record in the league and the top spot in the East. James is also the all-time leading scorer against the Bulls franchise, with 1,916 points. The 76ers were in Cleveland, where they lost 119-95 to James’ former team at Rocket Arena.
The man told officers he believed he was James’ son. “My family is safe and that’s the most important,” James said, before adding the matter is still being looked into. The suspect has not been named. A reporter asked about the arrest during the postgame scrum, and the answer was short. James was far from Los Angeles when it happened. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak.
The man allegedly tried to enter the property. The claim about being James’ son came up during police questioning. James has two sons, Bryce, who plays at Arizona, and Bronny, who played alongside James during James’ final two seasons with the Lakers and was recently assigned to their G League team.
