The LeBron portion of the season is coming to an end for the New York Knicks.
At 3:30 p.m. ET today, Jalen Brunson and co. take on King James’ Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena in their second and final meeting of the 2025-26 campaign.
In their first game, New York won 112-100 at MSG on Feb. 1. OG Anunoby led the charge for the Knicks that night, dropping 25 points and grabbing eight boards. Jalen Brunson scored just 12 on 4-15 shooting but did dish a cool 13 assists.
Luka Dončić notched 30 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and dealt eight assists; LeBron scored 22.
After the game ended, Dončić jokingly flipped off his former teammate, Brunson. The Knicks All-Star point guard “appeared to crack a smile” after noticing the obscene gesture, Yahoo reported.
