LeBron James Denies Tampering, Reportedly Meets Pelicans' Anthony Davis for Postgame Dinner
As the Anthony Davis rumors heat up before February's trade deadline, NBA front offices are reportedly upset at perceived tampering from LeBron James and the Lakers after James commented that it would be "incredible" to play with Davis.
James addressed the accusations on Friday after the Lakers defeated the Pelicans, 112–104.
“They can’t control me at all," James told reporters. "And I play by the rules.”
James and Davis then reportedly met up for a postgame dinner in Los Angeles, per Yahoo Sports. The Pelicans stayed in Southern California overnight before traveling to Sacramento to take on the Kings on Sunday, Dec. 23.
