LeBron James and his son, Bronny, made history on Tuesday night when they became the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game together.
But father and son will soon be heading to a different court. Two women filed a lawsuit against LeBron and Bronny for their involvement in a 2022 car accident.
According to TMZ, April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen filed court documents on Tuesday alleging father and son slammed into them causing injuries.
The lawsuit was filed on the same day Bronny made his historic NBA debut.
The accident happened on November 13, 2022, in Littlerock, California.
According to the court documents, obtained by TMZ, “Lopez and McGillen stated they sustained injuries that will require further medical attention. They also claimed the car they were driving was damaged and has lost value due to the wreck. They’re suing the two NBA stars for unspecified damages.”
No other information is available about whether the car accident was a hit-and-run or who was driving (LeBron or Bronny).
The plaintiffs are suing for unspecified damages, TMZ reports.
California residents have 2 years to bring a lawsuit after a car accident.
LeBron, 39, officially welcomed Bronny, 20, to the NBA with a little hazing incident before the season opener at the Crypto.com Arena in LA.
In the Nike commercial, LeBron is seen pouring Fruity Pebbles cereal through the sunroof of Bronny’s car. When Bronny comes out of the house, he opens the car door and a large amount of cereal pours out on the ground.
“Come on,” says Bronny, as LeBron pulls up in the backseat of a Maybach. “Hey, rook! You better not be late,” LeBron tells Bronny.
“Yo, are you serious?” says Bronny.
“Clean up my driveway. It’s a mess,” said LeBron.
“Yo, you’re too old for this!” Bronny yells as LeBron drives away.

“Thank god that wasn’t my car,” Bronny said about the prank after the Lakers’ 110-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.
Bronny did not score in his 3 minutes of playing time. LeBron scored 16 points. The Lakers face the Phoenix Suns on Friday at home.
