TORONTO: LeBron James is among half of the Cavs players who will not stay at the Trump SoHo hotel for the team’s game against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, multiple sources confirmed. The team is contractually obligated to stay at the hotel this season, but has made arrangements with a nearby hotel for players who aren’t comfortable staying there.
James was an outspoken critic of President-elect Donald Trump throughout the election and would not commit to visiting the White House in future years while Trump is in office should he win another championship.
Trump no longer owns the SoHo hotel, but his name is still on the building.
