Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James made his preseason debut on Sunday ahead of the 2024-25 NBA regular season. After sitting out the Lakers’ first preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, LeBron suited up for the highly anticipated matchup against the Kevin Durant-led Phoenix Suns at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.
LeBron was part of the Lakers’ regular starting lineup, which is expected to lead the team into the upcoming season. Energized from the opening tip, LeBron made an impact on both ends of the floor. It didn’t take long for him to send social media into a frenzy with a highlight-reel defensive play.
Less than four minutes into the game, LeBron pulled off a phenomenal defensive stop, showing no signs of slowing down in his 22nd NBA season. As Suns star Devin Booker drove into the paint seemingly unchallenged, it looked like he had an easy layup.
