Kai Cenat
LeBron James is getting called out by fans after skipping practice to get on a live stream with Kai Cenat. On Tuesday, Lakers head coach JJ Redick held James out of practice due to a “nerve irritation.”
“I felt in talking with performance and talking with [trainer Mike Mancias] and LeBron, he probably did too much last year in camp. Which was great for me as a first-year head coach to get buy-in from him.
“But it will be a slower process with him leading into the first game. He’s obviously got 22 years so far of wear and tear on his body. He’s dealing with a little bit of nerve irritation in the glute. We’re playing the long game with LeBron.”

According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, the Lakers are being cautious with LeBron per instructions from his camp.
“I was told that maybe (Lebron) overdid it last year leading into the beginning of the season when he wore out come December. I’m told that Lebron’s camp has spoken to the Lakers and they said let’s be overly cautious with Lebron”
Hours after skipping practice, LeBron was seen on dancing with Cenat on a live stream.

Fans quickly blasted LeBron for skipping practice to dance with Cenat.
Addicted to attention.
Last year, LeBron fake a groin injury then did the splits at Bryce’s game. Next, he faked a leg injury and went full Chubby Checker with his niece.
Now he’s missing camp with ass cheek injuries (aye yo) and twerkin with Kai Cenat, starving for attention… pic.twitter.com/ZnGeLVnnb4
