PORTLAND, Ore. - LeBron James says Kyle Kuzma approached him to squash the growing speculation about his and his trainer, Clint Parks', social media activity following the Los Angeles Lakers' Christmas Day loss to the L.A. Clippers.
In his posts, Parks had lauded Clippers star Kawhi Leonard at the expense of James, and Kuzma himself later posted an ambiguous message that some took as affirmation of Parks' opinion, a correlation the Lakers' power forward denied Saturday.
James said he's used to this sort of thing by now.
"Kuz came to me yesterday at practice and told me what was going on and that was it," James said before shootaround Saturday morning in advance of the Lakers' game against the Trail Blazers.
