There is a familiar face in the building at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for Game 4 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.
Cleveland.com’s Chris Fedor reported that LeBron James was expected to be in attendance for Monday night’s game. The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd seconded that report and mentioned that the Kardashians will also be in the house.
After the game began, James was seen sitting courtside with his wife Savannah.
James spent 11 years with the Cavaliers and led the team to their only championship in franchise history, but on Monday, he’ll be enjoying the game as a fan.
While the Cavs have memories of rooting for James during his time in Cleveland, Celtics fans have plenty of experience doing quite the opposite. During James’ time with the Cavaliers, he faced off against Boston five times in the playoffs, losing two of those series and winning the other three.
The Cavs will look to impress the best player in their franchise’s history on Monday with a win over Boston. Cleveland stole Game 2 on the road but dropped Game 3 to go down 2-1 in the series.
The task of taking down the top seed will be more difficult in Game 4 as the Cavaliers will be without star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, who will miss the game with a left calf strain. Mitchell has averaged 31.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists so far in the series.
Boston will look to spoil James’ homecoming by handling business on the road. The Celtics have a chance to gain some insurance and go up 3-1 before returning to Boston to possibly close out the series.
