The Los Angeles Police Department said Saturday that a man was arrested on Friday night at the Brentwood residence of LeBron James.
James is in his first season with the Philadelphia 76ers after spending the previous eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.
James faced his former Cavaliers team in Cleveland on Friday. The Cavaliers selected him first overall in 2003, and he won a championship with them in 2016 during his second stint with the team.
