LeBron James and his son, Bronny, are facing a different kind of challenge off the basketball court. TMZ Sports recently reported that they have been sued over their alleged involvement in a car crash that occurred in 2022.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the lawsuit was filed by two individuals in Los Angeles County just hours before LeBron and Bronny made their first appearance together in a regular season game for the Lakers. The game marked the team’s season-opening win against Minnesota at Crypto.com Arena.

The lawsuit was filed by April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen, who claim that they were driving on a highway in Littlerock, Calif., on November 13, 2022, when the Jameses’ vehicle collided with theirs. The plaintiffs stated that they sustained injuries requiring further medical attention and that their car was damaged and lost value due to the accident. As a result, they are seeking unspecified damages from the two NBA stars.
In response to the lawsuit, the Jameses have not publicly addressed the matter. However, despite the legal challenge, they had a memorable Tuesday as they played together in a significant 110-103 victory over the Timberwolves. After the game, LeBron took to his Instagram page to express his feelings about the experience, stating, “NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.“
