Some recent footage went viral that showed LeBron James, who is currently hurt, dancing at a Kendrick Lamar concert. But many fans were right to wonder if it was real
So far, LeBron James’s season has been up and down. James broke Kareem Abdul-record Jabbar’s for most points ever scored in the NBA last month, making him the league’s all-time leading scorer. Then, in a strange turn of events, a supposed photo of LeBron in kindergarten went viral.
At the moment, the Lakers are 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 30-33. After the All-Star break, the Purple and Gold were finally getting going in the right direction. But now that James is hurt, it’s even more important for players like Anthony Davis to step up in his place.
Is the video of LeBron James dancing at a Kendrick Lamar concert with foot injury real or fake
LeBron got hurt in the third quarter against the Mavs. He could be seen grabbing his ankle while mouthing the words, “I heard a pop.” After the game, he was seen limping around, and it was clear that the injury was bothering him.

James reportedly went back to L.A. after the game and was checked out by team doctors and medical staff. This week, he was seen playing for the Lakers against the Grizzlies with a protective boot on the hurt foot.
Some online NBA fans were surprised to see LeBron James dancing at a Kendrick Lamar concert without his shoes on. The viral video, which has been watched more than a million times, shows LeBron dancing around and acting like he doesn’t care about his hurt foot.
The caption for the post said, “LeBron James is seen dancing at a Kendrick Lamar concert without his boot.”
LeBron James dancing video goes viral on the internet
Some people wondered if the video of LeBron at the Kendrick Lamar concert was real, but as many people pointed out, it isn’t. The video in question was shot in August 2022, which is a long time ago. LeBron and his wife Savannah were celebrating her birthday at the time, so they went to Rogers Arena in Vancouver to see Kendrick perform.
At the time, the rapper was on tour for Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, his most recent studio album. The US leg of the tour ended on September 15. So, the video is old because LeBron is hurt and Kendrick isn’t on tour right now.
When will LeBron James come back?
Reports say that LeBron James will miss at least three weeks of work because of his right foot injury. According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, James will not need surgery.
The Lakers wrote on Twitter on 2 March: “LeBron James has been evaluated by Lakers team physicians and medical staff, and it has been determined that he has sustained a right foot tendon injury. James will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.”
This season, James has scored an average of 29.5 points, grabbed 8.4 rebounds, and given 6.9 assists per game.
