LeBron James and his wife Savannah James and their daughter Zhuri were at the Galen Center yesterday to watch Bronny James play basketball. The younger James’ USC Trojans hosted the Arizona Wildcats in an action-packed encounter that lived up to the hype. While the end-to-end battle occurred on the court, some eyes were still focused on the LA Lakers superstar.

Many were quick to note Savannah’s somewhat distant treatment of the four-time NBA MVP based on a photo going around social media. Basketball fans promptly pointed out that on Friday, James was seemingly fawned over by Linda Rambis and Jeanie Buss. It became a viral video and was suspected by most fans as the reason for what could be a strain between the couple.

On Friday, “King James” sat out as the Lakers hosted Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. He spent most of his time cheering on his teammates while also helping coach Darvin Ham during timeouts. James, however, also met with team governor Jeanie Buss and executive Linda Rambis.

James sat between the two in a clip that created quite a stir on social media:

The comments could be simple overreactions to the photo of a somewhat strained tension between LeBron James and Savannah James. There could also be something simmering between them. But, whatever it is, they’ll likely keep it to themselves.
