Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James sent well-wishes to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on Monday, a day after the rookie suffered a season-ending knee injury.
In a tweet, James acknowledged the pair's Ohio connections. Burrow, who led LSU to a national title last season, attended high school in The Plains, Ohio, and played the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Ohio State.
James, a native of Akron, Ohio, has long supported Ohio State and in 2013 said that he would have attended the university in Columbus had he played basketball collegiately.
Burrow will undergo reconstructive surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his knee, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
