News broke on Friday morning that a man was arrested on stalking charges after police found him lurking outside former Lakers star LeBron James’ Los Angeles home.
The man, who was arrested on a felony stalking charge, claimed to be LeBron’s son when speaking with police.
LeBron confirmed his family’s safety — which includes his wife Savannah and their 12-year-old daughter Zhuri — when asked about the arrest after the Philadelphia 76ers’ road game against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
“My family is safe and that’s the most important. We’re still looking into everything,” James said of the situation, per ESPN’s Kris Rhim.
It’s unclear whether Savannah and Zhuri James were at home at the time of the stalker’s arrest. LeBron was playing in Cleveland that night while his son, Bronny, was assigned to the Lakers’ G League affiliate, the Coachella Valley Lakers, later on that day.
TMZ reported that the suspect did not enter the James resisence.
Bronny had started the season with the Lakers, but doesn’t appear to live with his mom and sister.
