LeBron James wasn’t happy about Austin Reaves' ejection, which contributed to the Lakers' 100-97 loss to the Hornets.

Over the past few years, he has made a habit of arriving to All-Star Weekend late, often on Saturday, which has caused him to miss practice and hold separate media availabilities later. He did so on Sunday, which is when he announced that he would be skipping the game.

The usually mild-mannered Austin Reaves lost his cool and got himself ejected. The Los Angeles Lakers guard Reaves was tossed from his team’s game on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets, the very first NBA game following the All-Star break.

Austin Reaves finished with 15 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds in the last meeting with the Blazers. He is averaging a career-best 18.9 points and 6.1 assists per game. Rui Hachimura is averaging 19.0 points per game in February and has grabbed six-plus rebounds in three of his last four outings.
