As an April Fool’s Day prank, LeBron James took it to Twitter writing that he was officially out for the season.

As fierce as LeBron James is on the basketball court, the 4-time MVP has a jovial personality off the floor. Over the course of his career, The King has been seen having a good time whether it is making TikTok videos with his family, dressing up spooky for Halloween’s, or being a hilarious character while sitting on the team bench.
There was no way Bron was about to let April Fool’s Day pass without playing a prank. However, this prank would’ve initially scared the lights out off Rob Pelinka, Frank Vogel, and the Lakers supporters.
Taking it to Twitter, LBJ jokingly wrote:
I’m out for the season officially. See y’all in the fall.
I’m out for the season officially. 🤦🏾♂️. See y’all in the fall. 👑✌🏾

James might be in the mood to prank people, but the truth of the matter is that there is a very high chance that Bron’s season comes to an end very soon. Currently placed 11th (1 spot outside the play-in seats), the Lakers have a high possibility of finishing the season without advancing to the postseason.
LakerNation will hope that Bron manages to help the team win most of their clashes from the last 6 games of the 2021-2022 campaign.
