The LA-based summer basketball event that takes part in Los Angeles, California, was established in 1973. There, fans usually see the jaw-dropping mix of NBA athletes, retired legends, celebrities, local leagues' hoopers, overseas players, and college prospects.

Much to the disappointment of NBA fans, Kyrie and LeBron won’t be playing against each other at today’s tournament. According to ESPN NBA insider Dave McMenamin, Irving would take to the court at 11:00 Pacific time, and LeBron will take to the court a couple of hours later at 13:45. But Irving didn't show up on time.

So it’s unlikely they’ll be teammates unless that timing changes, but they will be in the same gym on Saturday afternoon.

LeBron’s last appearance in the Drew League came during the 2011 NBA lockout. LeBron finished with 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists in the game against the reigning Drew League champions, LAUNFD.
