LeBron James (knee) is officially listed as OUT for Monday’s Met Gala.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar broke the news himself just minutes ago … stating the ailment he suffered in Game 5 of the first-round matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves has forced him to miss the annual event.
“Unfortunately because of my knee injury I sustained at the end of the season I won’t be able to attend the Met Gala in NY tonight as so many people have been asking and congratulating me on!”
James — who was honorary chair for 2025 — said Savannah will still attend in his absence.
“Hate to miss a historical event! My beautiful powerful Queen will be there holding the castle down as she always has done! 🙏🏾🫡🤎✨✨✨”
Some haters thought the 40-year-old was using the knee as an excuse for falling to Anthony Edwards and the Wolves, but if he’s not even able to hit the Met Gala because of it … it sure seems like he’s really going through it right now.
There will be plenty of other athletes expected … as Angel Reese, Simone Biles and Sha’Carri Richardson served on the host committee this year.
