LeBron James and his high school sweetheart, Savanah, enjoyed a tender moment together while sitting courtside as the loved-up couple watched their eldest son, Bronny, record no points in USC’s 72-64 loss to Washington State in Los Angeles.
The 39-year-old Lakers superstar and his wife, who is two years younger than him, looked as if they had forgotten about the game at one point in the second half of Wednesday’s game at the Galen Center, as Savannah passionately looked at LeBron while engaged in conversation.
She was later seen patting her husband’s head while wearing a chic black bucket hat, after he took off a baseball cap designed by his brand, UNINTERRUPTED.
LeBron, who donned a stylish cyan raincoat for the midweek game, also had some popcorn while Bronny put up just two rebounds and an assist in 15 minutes of action, with the Trojans now 8-8 overall and ranking eighth in PAC-12 standings.
The 19-year-old guard is still making his way back from cardiac arrest suffered at a USC practice session in late July. It was later revealed that the health scare had been caused by a congenital heart defect.
Less than five months later, Bronny made his collegiate debut for the Trojans on Dec. 10, finishing with four points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block off the bench in USC’s shocking 84-79 defeat to Long Beach State.
Chris Paul’s godson has gone on to average 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists, shooting 41 percent from the field, in eight games played, so far, this season.
In contrast, LeBron has proven once again this year that age is just a number, as he is averaging 25.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 34.6 minutes of action for the ninth-seed Lakers (19-19). That’s just 2.1 points more than his career average of points per game.
The four-time NBA champion will next gear up in purple and gold on Thursday to play the Phoenix Suns in L.A.
The late-night game (10 p.m. ET start) promises to live up to its hype as LeBron will take on the Suns’ All-Star trio of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker.
The Suns are just ranked a seed higher than the Lakers at No. 8 in the West with a 19-18 record.
The Lakers will then travel to Salt Lake City to play the Utah Jazz (19-20) at Delta Center.
