LeBron James shared brief court time with his 11-year-old daughter, Zhuri, before the Lakers' game in San Francisco. Zhuri mimicked his pregame dribbling, made a backward, over-the-head shot from the free-throw line and threw a lob that James finished with a two-handed dunk. The lob was recorded as her first assist. The Lakers won decisively over the Warriors, ending a three-game losing stretch.
Key details:
- Zhuri James is 11 years old and joined her father on the court before the game.
- She banked a backward, over-the-head shot from the free-throw line and then lobbed the ball to LeBron, who dunked with two hands.
- The lob was described as her first assist, and the moment occurred on a road trip to San Francisco.
- The Lakers' victory was described as a blowout that helped the team recover after three consecutive losses.
- James said he and Zhuri visited Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge the night before and spent time together while on the trip.
- James noted Zhuri plays volleyball and mentioned his sons Bronny (who plays for the Lakers) and Bryce (who plays collegiately at Arizona).
Summary:
Zhuri's pregame assist provided a personal highlight amid a lopsided Lakers win that halted a short losing streak. Teammate Austin Reaves joked she might travel with the team for the Lakers' next road game in Denver, a comment James met with laughter. Whether she will travel to Denver with the team was not stated.
