Every year, the Met Gala brings together A-list celebrities, athletes, and icons for what is considered one of the most significant events in fashion. Similarly, this year will be no exception with notable attendees including Angel Reese, Simone Biles, and LeBron James at the fundraiser benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Nevertheless, James provided significant information about his anticipated presence at The Met Gala, and the Los Angeles Lakers player will not be attending because of the injury sustained during the playoffs.
I regretfully must decline attending the Met Gala in New York City tonight due to the knee injury I incurred towards the end of the season. Many folks have been reaching out and sending their congratulations for my attendance, which I truly appreciate. It’s disappointing to miss such a historic occasion! However, my wonderful queen will step up and hold things together just like she always does.
James was slated to serve as an honorary chair for the event together with Colman Domingo.
Lewis Hamilton
, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour were expected to be there, so his absence is quite significant.
LeBron’s spouse, Savannah, will attend The Met Gala, where she has already created a stir with her look on Monday.
Last week, a report emerged about James sustaining an injury during Game 5 of the Lakers’ first-round defeat against the Timberwolves, as reported by ESPN.
