Lakers star LeBron James confirmed that he has received the COVID-19 vaccine.
"I know that for me I can speak about myself," James said. "I think everyone has their own choice to do what they feel is right for themselves and their family, and things of that nature.

Last week, Lakers president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka told reporters that he expects all of the players currently on the team's roster to be deemed fully vaccinated by their first game on Oct.
