Lakers Rumors: Team Won’t Visit White House During Trip To Washington

Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Los Angeles Lakers have been unable to celebrate their 2020 NBA championship in the normal ways. There has been no parade, and the championship banner has yet to be revealed as well, though that will soon be changing.

Another tradition is for the champion to visit the President of the United States at the White House the following year. Teams had chosen not to visit while Donald Trump was in office, but with Joe Biden winning the Presidential election last year, there was hope that the Lakers would visit if possible.
