With Donovan Mitchell absent from Cleveland’s Game 4 matchup
with the Celtics on Monday, the Cavaliers needed a miracle. They got a king instead.
Hometown hero LeBron James returned to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, gracing fans with his presence as his former team took on one he has routinely dueled with throughout his career.
Murmurs of James’ impending appearance at the stadium were rife ahead of Monday night’s contest, with numerous reports claiming that James — or someone who looked eerily similar to him — was going to make a homecoming when Boston and Cleveland clashed.
Such whispers were verified mere minutes into the game when James — outfitted in sleek white pants, a jean jacket, and beige Air Force Ones — strutted into the arena alongside his wife Savannah and agent Rich Paul.

Cleveland’s faithful were made aware of King James’ presence moments later when images of his greatest hits with the Cavaliers flashed across the Jumbotron. They responded as one would expect them to, enveloping the four-time MVP in a wall of sound.
