Mere hours before the Met Gala begins, the Los Angeles Lakers forward announced that he will not be attending the Met Gala this year.
LeBronshareda post on his X account, writing, “Unfortunately because of my knee injury I sustained at the end of the season I won’t be able to attend the Met Gala in NY tonight as so many people have been asking and congratulating me on!”
“Hate to miss an historical event!” he continued. “My beautiful powerful Queen will be there holding the castle down as she always has done!”
On Thursday, the Lakers revealed that an MRI showed LeBron suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee in the fourth quarter of Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to a source obtained byESPN.
The injury occurred with only 8 minutes and 39 seconds remaining in the game when Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo collided with LeBron’s left knee, “setting a moving screen while a pass was being thrown to [Timberwolves power forward] Julius Randle on the perimeter,” as reported byESPN.
As a lifelong Lakers fan and Met Gala enthusiast, I wish LeBron a speedy recovery!
