LeBron James and Patrick Beverley recently starred in a curious moment that set the alarm for some fans, who didn’t hesitate to speculate about the future of the point guard amid many trade rumors surrounding the Purple and Gold.
Beverley starred in a shocking trade in the 2022 offseason where the Lakers sent Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Utah Jazz in return for the defensive specialist, who hasn’t made a big impact on the 17-time NBA champions.
The past couple of months have been full of rumors regarding Beverley and his future with the team, and some think a trade is imminent for him. Everybody looks deeper when it comes to Bev, especially his interactions with LeBron James, the superstar of the team.
LeBron James Hilariously Left Patrick Beverley Hanging
On Friday night, a video was shared showing Beverley trying to high-five LeBron James, but the King completely ignored him, as he looked very focused on the game. Beverley still tried to get James’ attention, tapping him on the head, but nothing changed for the point guard.

Things aren’t going that well for the Lakers, but they are still trying to find their best form and compete for a top-6 spot in the Western Conference standings. Beverley has been linked with a move away for a while now and seeing how good Dennis Schroder has been playing for the Lakers, the former Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves player could be on the move once again.
Bev looked really excited to be on the Lakers, and the team seems to be happy with him, but everything could change soon. The Lakers recently traded for Rui Hachimura, and general manager Rob Pelinka stated that they aren’t done yet.
The trade deadline is around the corner and many teams will be active before it strikes. Will Beverley stay on the team after that? Time will tell.
