Four-time NBA champion LeBron James has been dealing with a foot injury over the past few weeks. After missing games due to the injury and taking a short leave of absence from the team for personal reasons, James returned to the court on Sunday, logging 34 minutes against Memphis. Then, on Thursday, James logged another 34 minutes in the Lakers' 113-100 win over Sacramento.
After the game, footage of LeBron James allegedly popping a pill on the sideline began to circulate on X, formerly known as Twitter. One fan posted a video calling James out for allegedly dry-swallowing a pill on the sideline.
"Look at that. Look at your boy. He takes the pill. Those are pills, bro. Those are pills. You popping pills, dude, look at him. If that's a mint, you just hand him a mint. What's the problem? ... That much secret for a breath mint? That's a booster."
