LeBron James is currently sidelined with a groin strain, but he still made his way to Sacramento to attend the CIF State Championship game between his son Bryce’s Sierra Canyon and Lincoln High of Stockton at Golden 1 Center. It was Bryce’s last game in high school, and he walked away a winner, as Sierra Canyon beat Lincoln 58-53 in the final.
James was accompanied for this contest by his wife Savannah and daughter Zhuri. They did not get to witness a Bryce masterclass, though, as the 17-year-old finished with three points (1-9 FG), five rebounds, two assists, and a block. All three were extremely proud of him after the game, despite his struggles, and understandably so.

James was also seen talking to Bryce during the game, and he could have been giving some advice to him amid his struggles.

NBA insider Chris Haynes reported earlier in the night that James would be making the trip to Sacramento for this game, so his showing up was not a surprise. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar and his family were greeted with cheers when they arrived at the arena.

That might not be ideal, considering James is dealing with that groin strain. You understand him being hyped for Bryce, though.
While the younger James didn’t have a great showing in this final, Sierra Canyon did get some big contributions from elsewhere. Gavin Hightower had 15 points (4-6 FG), nine rebounds, and two assists, while Maxi Adams put up 14 points (4-12 FG), eight rebounds, one steal, and three blocks.
For Lincoln, on the other hand, both Anthony Moore and Donez Lindsey had a game-high 18 points each, but it wasn’t enough to get the win. They
Getting back to James, he would be hoping to lift a title himself later this year as Bryce just did. His Lakers were on a roll, too, in recent months, but have struggled since he went down. They have now lost four in a row to drop to 40-25 and would want him back on the court as soon as possible.
