During the match between the Lakers and the Wizards, played last Wednesday, LeBron James was guilty of an elbow to the face of Deni Avdija.
Asked about this sequence, the latter did not hide his annoyance towards the King.
Traveling to Washington DC a few days ago, the Lakers managed, with difficulty, to defeat the Wizards (125-120).
Among the great architects of this success was LeBron James , who compiled 25 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.
But beyond this victory, Internet users especially commented on the sequence where the King inflicts… an elbow on Deni Avdija in the middle of a spin move:

Deni Avdija’s response after LeBron’s elbow
Unsurprisingly, LeBron received a flagrant foul 1 following his blow to Avdija’s face at the end of the first period.
The latter, for his part, missed the entire last quarter due to a migraine and was therefore unable to prevent his team’s narrow defeat.
Invited in recent hours to return to Eurohoops on this incident , he openly complained about James’ behavior towards him:
My brain isn’t damaged so that’s a good sign. The doctors did a good job examining me.
I was allowed to participate in the training session the next morning and everything went well.
I was ready to play. It’s not that serious. I don’t think he did it on purpose.
On the other hand, I at least expected him to come see me after punching me in the face.
I felt like he didn’t do it and it pissed me off. But at the end of the day, it’s sport.
I’m going to get hit, I don’t care, even if I have a concussion.
But at the time, I would have liked him to come and ask me how I felt.
It’s just a matter of sportsmanship.
I felt like he didn’t, which is okay. It’s not serious. I got over it.
Taken with anger at the time of the incident, the Israeli winger admits to having felt resentful towards LBJ.
However, this step back allowed him to realize that this unfortunate movement was ultimately probably just an accident.
And this episode did not prevent the former Maccabi Tel Aviv player from returning to the field to accumulate 22 points and 12 rebounds in the following match, against the Blazers.
Author in full action of an elbow on the temple of Deni Avdija, LeBron James supposedly did not hear from the latter.
Enough to initially annoy the principal concerned before he shows detachment.
