Anthony Davis Confirms LeBron James Tested Positive for COVID-19

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has COVID-19 and this is the biggest news these days. The four-time NBA champion tested positive for the virus and was placed in the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Lakers players celebrated a win over the Sacramento Kings, but now they have a big issue to overcome. King James will be out for a really long time.

“I talked to him today,” Davis said. “Obviously, me and LB is close and I checked on him. Just hearing what Joel Embiid said — obviously (Embiid) was scared. He said that he thought he wasn’t going to make it. COVID is a scary thing. Especially with all the new variants coming out and all that…it’s a scary situation. He said he’s good.”

Embiid had the same problem. This has led to many questions about his health. The Sixers star felt really bad and he even thought that he wouldn’t make it. Of course, he warned everyone that COVID-19 is not a joke, but he is finally over it.

LeBron James has no symptoms of COVID-19

Davis and LeBron are really close and the big man sure knows a lot about his health. The king of basketball hasn’t shown any symptoms which is really great news. Hopefully, he won’t develop any serious symptoms.

“He said he’s asymptomatic, which is a good sign, but we want to make sure that he gets back,” Davis added. “Health is what’s most important. It’s bigger than basketball. He has a family and we want to make sure that he’s good no matter what. Like this Basketball Thing don’t stop. We want to make sure his health is what’s most important, especially for our organization. He’s part of our family and we want to make sure he’s good. For his sake, for his family’s sake. Like I said, he seemed to be fine, but I know he’s watching basketball and he’s excited, so the win probably helped him fight this off as well.”

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel couldn’t say much about LeBron’s health. He did explain that the team arranged for LeBron “to get transportation back to LA safely.”
