Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James publicly dismissed recent speculation about friction between himself and team governor Jeanie Buss, saying their working relationship remains solid.
James briefly addressed the subject after practice, noting that he and Buss are aligned on the franchise’s goals and maintain regular communication. He added that talk of a divide was “overblown,” but did not elaborate on specific reports that had suggested a split.
Speculation surfaced earlier in the week when several outlets cited unnamed sources claiming differences of opinion between the four-time NBA champion and the longtime Lakers executive. James’ comments were his first on the matter since those reports appeared.
Buss has not issued a public statement regarding the alleged rift.
