He also thanked those who gave him treatment at the Mayo Clinic as well as his parents, siblings, coach Andy Enfield and his teammates "during this hard time in my life." He didn’t take questions from reporters.

Fresh off an In-Season Tournament Championship, LeBron James was back home and in attendance for the game. He posted a tribute to his son on Instagram afterward.
